I found this on another thread ,wanted to share ...very touching=]! "CNA's are the backbone of every facility. We are the eyes and ears of the nurse. Without CNA's the facilities would have to close. Nurses are wonderful I have no doubt but the CNA is the hands on caregiver and in some cases the only person the resident really trusts. Yet we are underpaid, sometimes treated as part of labor department and because we dont have the college degree sometimes we are not considered real nurses. I worked at a facility once where an Rn made a statement that CNA's didnt need to hear the change of shift report because they werent part of the nursing depart. That nurse was told to apologize to the CNA's by the nursing union and D.O.N. We are very special people because not everyone can share their love to others the way we do. OUr residents needs stay on our minds sometimes when we go home. That special treat they wanted or the new game they tried and liked, or the saddness we felt in our hearts when the long lost family member didnt show up for the residents birthday etc. We listen to our residents most intimate feelings towards their family and their fears of dying. So remember We are angels from heaven the ones who tip-toe into the rooms at night to place that extra blanket on our resident because we know he or she will be cold. And when they are passing we are the ones who hold their hand when their family cant be there.
