CNA Helps Shooting Victim - Mariah Collins - CNA Heroes on CNA-TV

I film this show every week to bring awareness and attention to the CNA role and its importance in health care.  So many people are eager to give credit to surgeons, doctors and nurses for their role in a patient’s recovery.  Often, the CNAs who deliver over 80% of direct patient care, go unnoticed and under-appreciated and to me, this is very sad because CNAs provide so much physical and emotional support to patients.  So go out there and thank a CNA today!

CNAs are often the first to jump in when there is an emergent situation.  As we have discussed in previous episodes, CNA Heroes run to help others without regard for their own wellbeing.  Whether it is a car accident, drowning, or heart attack—if there is a CNA nearby, chances are they are on it providing first aid, comfort and emotional support.

Let’s go to Cincinnati, Ohio where Mariah Collins is a CNA at Versailles Health Care Center and a nursing student at the University.

Just a few short weeks ago, Mariah and a friend were walking near the main university campus when they heard gunshots.  She was unable to tell where they came from but kept walking.  She came upon a 36 year old man who had been shot in the leg.

Mariah removed her belt, and applied a tourniquet to his leg to help slow the bleeding--explaining to the man that it would be painful but was necessary.  Her friend called 911 and within minutes paramedics arrived, taking the gunshot victim to University Hospital where he was expected to survive.

Mariah did not turn and run the other way in fear, instead she stepped up and let her skills take over to help this drive-by shooting victim.

Everyone please join me in celebrating the brave efforts of Mariah Collins, CNA Hero!
