Nursing Assistant Week Breakfast and Raffle

Attendance is optional, NOT mandatory, at the yearly breakfast, luncheon and away-from-the-facility Christmas party. This is the first time I noticed there is an attendee only raffle with the breakfast.

Have they (whoever they are) forgotten or do they ignore that the non-day-shift workers may have a family, parttime job, appointments, etc. and may be unable to attend!

What did the day/evening/night workers get who did not attend the Christmas party? A cold platter of rolls, luncheon meats, salads, desserts. The workers that didn't work that day/evening/night, got nothing ... AND, only the workers that attended the Christmas party were eligible for the several raffles and prizes.

I agree, EVERYONE should have a chance to win, not just those who attend.

Or better yet, why not spend those $$$ for the residents
I would like to have more incontinent pads, non-skid socks, pillows for floating heels, etc.
