2. Motivators Discovered by Studies
Reviewing studies completed asking CNAs how they want to be supervised and what motivates them will assist the Licensed Nurse in identifying strategies that will work to assure CNAs are performing at their best. These strategies can be adapted to the work environment the Licensed Nurse is supervising during a normal work shift.
