Seeds of Inspiration
52 Weekly Gems of Encouragement & Reflection for Nursing AssistantsThe personal cost of providing long-term care is staggering. The work is complex, demanding, and difficult — both physically and emotionally.
Caregivers struggle to stay focused and motivated — and rewards that honor and inspire these dedicated people are powerful. Plus, they offer a great way to say thanks and nurture the seeds of strength your Nursing Assistants each possess.
As difficult as it is to provide physical care, even more challenging for caregivers is feeling motivated to face their daily work and sustain their own emotional reserves. A caregiver’s motivational and emotional state can make the difference between providing individualized care vs. performing tasks... connecting with residents on a person-to-person level vs. being disengaged... offering high quality care vs doing just enough to get by.
This book honors and promotes the self-care of Nursing Assistants — those special individuals who not only provide care, but also offer richness to the daily lives of residents. Through weekly inspirational readings and guided personal exercises, Nursing Assistants are provided seeds from which meaning, joy, and satisfaction in their work can grow. The authors, Charlotte Eliopoulos, a leader in LTC nursing, and George Considine, a management coach, have created a unique book that nourishes the spirits of Nursing Assistants.
Show your appreciation and honor the contribution of your Nursing Assistants by equipping each of them with Seeds of Inspiration. They’ll remember you 52 weeks of the year for doing so!
