40 Days of Blessings

Day 6: RNs & CNAs With Another Dose of Passion Pit
In working in an inpatient setting, I find myself in constant communication with an interprofessional group of nurses, certified nursing assistants, physician assistants, speech therapists, physical therapists and case managers. Today, my great & humble appreciation goes out to all the nurses & certified nursing assistants who make my life so much easier as an occupational therapy student...or better stated, an occupational therapist in training :) 


Since starting this first FW rotation, I have had the privilege of meeting a wonderful group of nurses and CNAs. They have taught me a great deal about patient care and have come to my assistance when I needed some extra help or advice. 


It takes a special person to be a nurse or CNA, which is why I have not run into too many "bad" nurses or CNAs during my time in inpatient; however, if you come across that "1 in 10" nurse who seems to always have a thunder cloud for her halo, it makes you appreciate those other 9 nurses 10 times as much! That said, a nurse or CNA as passionate and friendly as the ones I have met here at Siskin are valued beyond words.


I owe much of my "occupational" growth to the nurses and CNAs at Siskin Hospital and hope that I may be blessed yet again with a phenomenal group of RNs and CNAs in the future :) Thank you to all of those at Siskin and to all of my girlfriends who have pursued professions as an RN or CNA!! Your role in patient care is valued tremendously! Couldn't get by without you!




Falling into another love affair with Passion Pit. "Let your love grow tall" and share your blessings with those around you today. No blessing is too small. Happy Tuesday, friends.
