And did you know that Certified Nursing Assistants often spend more time with patients than nurses do? I came across this in a training session and it really got me thinking about the unique role we play in patient care. It’s amazing how much we contribute to their wellbeing — you’ve got this, and keep up the great work.
It’s so true that CNAs often spend more time with patients than nurses, and that’s crucial for building trust — , it drives me nuts when people overlook our contributions! Maybe we need to advocate more for recognition in team meetings, don’t you think?
Absolutely! The time CNAs spend with patients really makes a difference in their care experience. I’ve noticed that our ability to build relationships can often lead to better communication about their needs.
And it’s a bit frustrating how often CNAs get overlooked for the time we spend with patients… Building that trust really can make a huge difference in their care. I remember a time when just sitting and chatting with a patient turned their whole day around.
