Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are the backbone of the healthcare industry, ensuring the well-being of patients and providing vital assistance to nurses and other medical professionals. As we celebrate CNA Week, it is essential to recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions of these dedicated individuals. This week FleetNurse will be honoring all our CNAs, highlighting their unwavering commitment and the exceptional care they provide.

History of CNA Week:

This year CNA week falls on June 15th-21st. Every year CNA Week is dedicated to celebrating and recognizing all the hard work that CNAs do all year long. This allows family members, friends, patients, and co-workers to show their appreciation to a CNA in their life. 

The American Red Cross established a program called the Volunteer Nurses' Aide Service during World War I, this provided nursing assistance to nurses who were overwhelmed. The same initiative was put into place during World War II, where more than 12,00 nurse aides offered their services. 

Today there are more than 1.3 Million CNAs in the medical field. 

How You Can Celebrate:

  • Say Thank You:
    • Write a thank you note, send a quick video or a text message letting a CNA in your life know how much you appreciate them and everything they do! 
  • Send a Treat Over:
    • Coffee, cookies, donuts! Call their facility to make sure it is okay before dropping off any goodies though.

The CNAs at FleetNurse truly embody the spirit of dedication, compassion, and professionalism. Their tireless efforts and commitment to delivering exceptional care make a significant difference in the lives of countless patients.
