Nursing Assistant Monthly has several unique features that
make it successful.
1. It was developed with input from an advisory board of national experts in
long-term care.
2. It features a high-quality, monthly newsletter for every aide - that
highlights a particular topic, with the focus on vital interpersonal issues.
This simple fact sends a powerful message to nursing assistants about their
value as employees.
3. The facility receives a monthly Facilitator's Guide - to help
in-service coordinators integrate the newsletter into ongoing in-service
training activities. This guide provides training tips, continuing education
goals, a list of resources, and a quiz for every nursing assistant. Used
together, these tools can help fulfill and document all of a facility's
federally- mandated continuing education requirements.
4. It is based on research that shows that the problems of low morale and high
turnover can be resolved by addressing the critical interpersonal and
psychosocial aspects of the nursing assistant's role, and Nursing Assistant
Monthly is designed to do just that. A sampling of issue topics include:
-
Relating to Residents' Families
-
Death and Bereavement
-
Problem Behaviors in Dementia
-
Improving Communication
Customer Feedback
"This is, far and away, the only publication I know of that speaks directly to
CNAs about their concerns. It really helps to build a sense of pride and
self-esteem."
- Tom Argue, Administrator, Webster at Rye, Rye, NH
"It's a complete in-service every month, ready to deliver. It's very easy to use
and full of helpful ideas. The CNAs absolutely love it. It creates a lot of
discussion among them and gives them the validation they need. I love it too
because it really cuts my workload!"
- Sr. Juanita Durgin, SDC, McKerley Health Care Center, Bedford,
NH
"I've found every issue to be valuable to our nursing assistants. We've had only
positive responses to the program and I estimate at least 90% of our CNAs read
it each month. Our professional staff also enjoy it! Keep up the great work!"
- Kaylene Straetker, RN, Scottsbluff
Nursing Center, Scottsbluff, AZ
