Certified Nursing Assistant “A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless, are the true gold mines of a culture.” –Abraham Joshua Heschel. I decided to do my senior project on becoming a certified nursing assistant because I believe CNA’s go beyond their limits for their patients. This is in honor of all CNA’s who work hard to care for the sick and elderly. The first step to understand your role

Social workers may not even be aware of what they are bringing into the interaction. Unfortunately, this can end up being damaging to the client-worker relationship.

In today’s society, especially Long Term Health Care facilities, there has been numerous reports and incidents of elderly neglect and abuse. Although Personal Support workers walk a very thin line between what could be considered neglect and could be considered abuse, there are no rules pertaining to this grey area, which could potentially be the cause of raising incidents.

Health and Human services, Family Support Worker So I’ve decided to become a family support worker. The reason why I'm so interested in this specific job position is because I'm all about women empowerment.
