Why is it that a lot of health care facilities.....?

will not acknowledge CNA's for CNA day or any other day when they are a very important part of the nursing team and do most of the nursing care in a nursing home. Nurses do not do the one on one hands on nursing care for the most part. CNA's are the eyes and ears for the nurses yet in society they get no credit. Only the nurses. The nurses are very important as well but, I just think that CNA's need to get special credit. I know that in most nursing homes it is hard to get decent CNAs but I can see why. There is no morale for them. They are payed bad and treated bad. They are abused and facilities will not even provide decent equipment such as gate belts etc.. to help may save their back. They don't really get good benefits if any and they are looked down apon by most of the other nursing staff. A lot of self respecting people who are good at the job will not do it. This is not true in the hospital however. The hospital is a lot better working environment. Please explain to me why aids are treated like modern day slaves.
