NURSING ASSISTANTS WEEK
Today is Thursday of the second full week of June on the National Day Calendar and we kicking off National Nursing Assistants Week. We want to say "Thank You" to all the nursing assistants that provide special care and attention to patients and share our gratitude for a job well done.
#NursingAssistantsWeek
This week highlights the dedication and commitment nursing assistants everywhere. Whether they provide care on the frontlines of battle or in an operating room, clinic, or nursing home, they have been professionally trained to provide excellent care. They help nurses and other medical staff complete their job with ease. In fact, nursing assistants are vital members of healthcare teams that provide support to physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. They perform administrative and clinical tasks that help ensure the efficient operation of medical offices, clinics, and hospitals.
Nursing assistants work in hospitals and nursing homes alike, performing everyday living tasks for the elderly, chronically ill, or rehabilitation patients who cannot care for themselves. Of course, nursing assistants require in-depth training to gain the necessary qualifications to cover a wide scope of responsibilities.
