While searching for a blog topic this week we found this awesome poem written several years ago about what makes a good Nurse’s Aid and we thought you, our Allen School Family may enjoy it.
A Good Nurse’s Aide
Let me tell you, what makes a good Nurse’s Aide
A sound mind, good judgement, and an action carefully layed
Caring and trying, with all of your heart
Making the difference, is what sets us apart
Communication, so they feel and hear
Calming their spirit, with your presence near
Taking time to hear, what they have to say
Reassuring them, that everything is okay
Making sure, they have good food to eat
Keeping them clean, from their head to their feet
Assisting them, when the need is there
Showing your interest, and that you care
Passing the medicines, so the dosage is right
Flipping the switch, when they need a light
Taking their hand, and showing them the way
Making for them, a much better day
Making their lives, as comfortable as you can
Helping them to bed, or helping them to stand
Understanding, just where they’ve been
Letting them know, you are their friend
It isn’t just a job, or a game that’s well played
But a caring spirit, and a heart that’s well made
It isn’t passing a test, to get a good grade
It’s what you give of yourself, that makes A Good Nurse’s Aide
