Challenges for Nursing Assistants

We know that turnover of nursing assistants in long-term care is high. In our own estimates, turnover has averaged over 100% in NC nursing homes since 2003. North Carolina has been at the forefront of developing initiatives aimed at reducing turnover but much work is still to be done.

What do you think are the major challenges for nursing assistants in nursing homes as they care for residents? What do you think are the solutions to these challenges? We are looking for a robust discussion. Your comments are welcome.
