What does a day look like in the life of a nursing assistant at SAk: Coming to work, having coffee and checking what's for dinner. All kidding aside, it looks really good. Busy, diverse, informative and challenging. Full of thoughtfulness and love, gratitude, laughter and joy.

We wish all paramedics a happy day!
