To The NURSES and HELPERS of The WORLD!

 


---I would like to dedicate this song by the Beatles to ALL the nurses at Laguna Honda. I know that this song was written by John Lennon about a relationship to a girl he may or may not have been involved with. He may have found it applicable to that situation. But, I think it applies very strongly to myself and many others at any hospital or nursing home, also.

---I was very self-reliant most of my life and was very able to fend for myself. The bad times were the bad times, but I seemed to survive them alright. The stroke hit me in 2002...and I had NO idea what to do. I was immediately plugged into the system and ended up at living in a hospital..

---People have been very good to me here. I love them ALL and I really think I mean that. They have helped me...so many times in so many ways. The song fits in, in so many ways, also. I didn't think too much about what people did who couldn't do the fundamental things that I used to take for granted. Well, I learned, in spades. They get - HELP!
.
---The version of the song has expired. I, finally, added a different version in its place.  It is NOT the BEATLES, but i  HOPE that it serves the purpose.

PROFESSIONAL ETIQUETTE FOR CERTIFIED NURSING AIDES

Professional Etiquette fr Certified Nursing Aides - click!

To anyone who is the face of feeling better as we patients are recovering, we appreciate what you do and who you are. Believe or not, but the relationship that we have with you can make or break our experience at the facility, itself. The level of kindness that we feel in your charge impacts the very fabric of our stay in that place. When the relationship is good then that's great! When the relationship is NOT so good, it can go so far as to extend our recovery time.






We APPRECIATE YOU!
