Tucson Unified School District (TUSD1.org)’s Post

Below is a list of words to beware of when used to describe a nursing home candidate. These are not necessarily BAD words but they have completely alternate definitions in Nursing Home Speak: "Sweet" This is a fine word to describe a Social Worker, Recreation Assistant or CNA. Describe an Administrator as "sweet," and you have effectively ended his/her career. In the context of Administrator, sweet = an over eager pushover. "Aggressive" In the real word, we stay far away from aggressive people and we teach our children NOT to be aggressive. In Nursing Homes, we LOVE aggression. We love aggressive administrators, marketers, social workers and directors of nursing. In this context, "aggressive," means pushing the team forward, pushing census, pushing numbers and basic all around pushiness (pushing residents NOT included). "Seasoned" - When I visualize this word, I think of an ancient gnarled oak tree that's endured the seasons of time. Yes, it has successfully weathered many storms and has proven its solidity but to me it just feels so so tired. And then there are the battle scars and subsequent burnout. "Highly skilled" and "experienced" are both sooooo much better. These are my top three personal offenders. Any others you can add to this list? #nursinghomes #recruitment

Hear why District Nurse Annie Berger loves working with the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation for over 8 years now! One reason why Annie loves screening with us is because we can quickly & accurately screen students -- earlier that same morning, Annie & our School Vision Screening (SVS) Team screened a middle school of over 400 students in just an hour and a half! Why are uncorrected vision problems in children so vital to catch early? Because studies show that 80% of learning is visual...students who can't see well, and therefore are not reading at grade level, are much less likely to graduate from high school. Our School Vision Screening Program has been rated #1 in the U.S. two years in a row by Lions KidSight USA. Working in partnership with local Lions Clubs, school nurses, and school districts, our SVS Program collaborates with local health professionals and community organizations to conduct statewide screening events in Oregon. https://lnkd.in/gZHvUg7s
