National Career Nursing Assistants Day June 9-16, 2005, The first day of NAW is Career Nursing Assistants Day is set aside each year to recognize longevity of service, special contributions to care practices and accomplishments of the nursing assistants who have made caring their life career including members of the National Twenty Year Club.
Who are career nursing assistants?
Nursing assistants are key players in the lives of the people in their care. Each day, more than 2,500,000 caregivers provide hands-on care to our nation’s frail, elderly, or chronically challenged citizens in nursing homes and other long term care settings. These important workers have various titles including: Nursing Assistant, Nurse Aide, Care Assistant, Caregiver, In-Home Care Aide, Resident Assistant, Hospice Assistant, Geriatric Aide, Restorative Aide, Health Care Assistant, and others.
Because they “stay” in caregiving positions, Career Nursing Assistants provide predictability and stability to care, which in turn enhances the feeling of security for our aging, frail, or chronically challenged citizens. They bring wisdom, patience, humor, and a general attitude of caring to the daily lives of these people. The Career Nursing Assistant also provides a role model for new nursing assistants and many are recognized in their own families as the health care expert.
