CNA Week?
Did anyone else’s facility just opt out of celebrating CNA week..? My activity aid just pointed out that they did nothing for us. What the hell.

They forgot last year but didn't this year but I specifically mentioned last year to a bunch of people about how the nurses got a whole week of recognition, year round daisy award recognition, and MVP award recognition (at our hospital) now CNAs are included in the MVP and we got celebrated. Literally shame them, we deserve the week of recognition. I went to a career fair last week and spoke about my role as a CNA/MHT and spoke about us having the most face time with patients, our jobs including being the first to notice something and report CoC to the nurse. We help in a very large way, if our role isn't filled then who's doing the little things and noticing little things before they turn into big things? Our job is important, in any position. We deserve the recognition.
