Thank you nurses – amazing heroes of long-term care
May 2021
With courage and compassion, our nation’s nurses have persevered during one of the greatest healthcare crises in modern times to care for others. During this National Nurses Week, we recognize the everyday bravery and sacrifice of these 4 million+ professionals.
Nurses that work in the long-term care setting have been hit particularly hard. These nurses have the responsibility for ensuring that residents have professional, dignified and compassionate care. Long-term care nurses help their residents function at their optimum level of independence while ensuring their needs are met. However, long-term care residents bore a disproportionate share of morbidity and mortality during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. They accounted for roughly 6 percent of cases but 40 percent of deaths.
The unwavering commitment of nurses
Facing the risk of their own infection, nursing home nurses quickly adapted to new procedures and regulations to slow the spread of the virus among their residents. They dealt with staffing and equipment shortages and guidance that brought more questions than answers at times. Despite the challenges and uncertainty, they continued doing what they do best – caring for others.
Nurses will always be vital to the daily functioning of skilled nursing facilities in this country and they deserve to be celebrated. Please join The Compliance Store in showing our deepest gratitude for the women and men who work as long-term care nurses across the nation. Their unwavering commitment to their profession and the residents they care for is appreciated and it’s one of the reasons that we do what we do.
The Compliance Store is honored to work with facilities and nursing professionals to make caring for residents easier, safer and more efficient. Thank you for enriching the lives of your residents, their families and your communities. We wish you a great National Nurses Week!
