Nursing assistants provide hands on care, but
they also make a difference in the lives of the people in their care. This
year, we want to showcase some of the creative ways you respond to difficult
situations, provide comfort, alleviate stress, encourage friendships, or create
greater safety and wellbeing for our elder or disabled citizens.
THE QUESTION IS:
In what ways do you provide
comfort, alleviate stress, and encourage friendships,
or create greater safety and wellbeing
for the people in your care?
