As I got older, I realized my mother and I grew in different settings. She was raised in a Vietnamese village, where access to treatment and health care education were limited and overlooked.…

My first day on the job I realized that this was going to be so much more than just a paycheck. CNAs have one of the most physically, emotionally, and mentally challenging jobs, but it is also rewarding in ways I couldn't even imagine.…
