2011 CNA Essay Contest Winners
The 2011 CNA Essay theme, “New Roles, New Goals,” prompted CNAs to describe how they contribute to Advancing Excellence caregiving goals, particularly in the areas of resident safety, pressure ulcer reduction, helping with staff retention and minimizing resident pain. The winning essays gave personal testimony on some of the challenges of new roles and CNA's can adapt and continue providing high quality care to residents.
FHCA received numerous entries, many of which told important stories. We are pleased to recognize the winners of this year's CNA Essay Contest: New Roles, New Goals, and thank the FHCA member nursing homes which supported their participation.
