We at NAHCA really appreciate you viewing and sharing these videos.  I have spent 25 years of my career recognizing and honoring CNAs and trying to get society to do the same.  So often CNAs are taken for granted and their hard work and dedication isn’t always publicly appreciated.  This is my format to help CNAs and the CNA profession get well-deserved positive recognition. 
Working in healthcare, I have often heard derogatory remarks from older seasoned nurses about young people—how they don’t care about anything but themselves, they are selfish and lazy.  Please know these are not my thoughts or opinions, rather things I have heard from others.
I am not certain which young people these old grumpy nurses were talking about, but I see so much promise and hope in young people.  Let me tell you about a hardworking motivated teen!  Thank you to the Hays Post for publishing this story!
Rhiannon Cummin is a high school student in Hays, Kansas.  She has a passion to become a nurse and with the help of her community she is doing just that.  She is attending an alternative/virtual high school so that she can study at her own pace.  She drives into Hays each day to attend the Learning Center. She pays for her own gas, earned from a part-time job she works in between her studies.
Rhiannon has applied herself like no other student.  Already completing her junior and senior year core studies she has accumulated 17 hours of college credit.
She traded job working in a fast food drive-thru for answering call lights at the local nursing home working as a CNA.  She will be graduating high school in 2020 and is well poised to further her nursing education.
I am thankful to young people like Rhiannon who are motivated and compasdsionate—wanting to take care of others.
Join me today in celebrating a very motivated CNA who aspires to greatness, Rhiannon Cummin, CNA Hero!
