Meet Erica, CNA, Hospice Aide

1. How long have you been a CNA? How long have you been with Heart of Hospice?
I’ve been a CNA for 12 years! I’ve had the honor of being with Heart of Hospice 1 year & 11 months! My work anniversary is approaching 🙂

2. Who has been your biggest supporter in your career?
God & myself ! If it wouldn’t be for God I wouldn’t have the strength to get up and do this EVERYDAY! It truly takes a lot to get up & show up for others on a daily basis. But I continue to put God first and because of Him I get up and show up effortlessly everyday. I’ll continue pushing and praying my way through.

3. What has been your biggest reward as a CNA?
The biggest reward is still showing up no matter what, still giving exceptional care and making my patients comfortable. Their thank you’s, I love you’s, hugs, etc are truly rewarding and heartwarming!

4. What advice would you have for someone just starting their CNA journey?
If I’d have to give someone advice starting their CNA journey it would be to not stop here! Use CNA as a stepping stone to your career. This is one of the hardest jobs out here.. physically, mentally and emotionally but don’t ever forget to do it with GRACE.
I’d also advise them to not come into the medical field for an aesthetic. It’s much deeper than cute scrubs, Apple Watches, and Stanley cups—- it’s about the love you carry within your spirit! There’s someone out there who truly needs every ounce of love and compassion that you have to give!

5. You were just gifted an all expense paid trip! Where are going and who's going with you?
I can’t decide between Tokyo, Japan or Bangkok Thailand! With my husband & kids for sure !

HAPPY CNA WEEK!

✨ June 12th – June 18th ✨

From Emily, Account Executive

Kicking off the week, I had the joy of partnering with our amazing referral sources to celebrate the incredible CNAs at New Iberia Manor South and Consolata Rehab & Wellness Center on the Teche!

At Heart of Hospice, we’re beyond grateful for the compassion, dedication, and tireless hard work you bring to your roles each and every day. Your impact on patients, families, and your teams is immeasurable — and we loved being part of this special celebration in your honor!

You are truly “NACHO AVERAGE CNAs,” and we “DONUT” know what we’d do without you! 🌮🍩🌵🩵

I’ve been a CNA for 15 years. I’ve been with Heart of Hospice for 4 years.

2: Who has been your biggest supporter in your career?
My biggest supporter is my grandmother, she’s a blessing!

3: What has been your biggest challenge as a CNA? Your biggest reward?
My biggest challenge as a CNA is loosing a patient (passing away) and saying goodbye to family members.

It’s also rewarding knowing you’re providing comfort and support during vulnerable moments.

4: What advice would you have for someone just starting their CNA journey?
My advice to a CNA starting their journey is to pour your heart and compassion into your work.

5: You were just gifted an all expense paid trip! Where are going and who's going with you?
