Are Personal Support Workers Healthcare's Unsung Heroes?



Personal support workers are heroes to their patients.  They regularly perform feats that are very impressive.  Personal support workers do everything from taking and checking vitals such as pulse and blood pressure, to bathing patients.
  
Personal support workers are caregivers who are in it for the long haul.  They are passionate about their jobs and their patients.  The typical personal support worker possesses ridiculous amounts of stamina and patience.  They need it to endure the gruelling repetition of the job.  They come to work each day, not looking for special rewards or recognition.  The results of what they do are reward enough for the typical personal support worker.  Their hard work and dedication shows through, in every shift.

Personal support workers work as a team, wherever their work is.  They support their colleagues and receive support from their colleagues in return.  This is especially important as they need the support to combat the stress, and in some cases, burnout rates.  

Personal support workers are heroes to their patients on a daily basis.
