Book Description
"We are not the authors, merely the privileged scribes of Take It to Heart: CNAs' Solutions to the Staffing Crisis. Since 1981, we've been taught the book's message by listening to and watching thousands of dedicated nursing assistants. Reading their wisdom as presented here, readers will discover how to end the staffing crisis in long-term care."
