This week we welcome you to come Behind the Mask with RN, Tennah Banya, a hard-working leader who has made her mark here for over a decade! Tennah\u2019s passion in caring for others is worthy of a spotlight, as we learn more about her daily tasks during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love working at Woodbine and my team. All the staff here are passionate about what they do and they care about our residents.\u201d Tennah states as she reflects on being a team member during these unprecedented times. \u201cWe are taking it as a challenge.\u201d <\/p>\n
Tennah\u2019s morning routine starts with faith, as she finds strength in prayer to motivate her. \u201cI pray in the morning,\u201d she says, followed by checking up on the night staff as well as visiting the residents. Tennah sees the residents as her family, which is what sparks her level of care. \u201cWe are an extended family. We take care of them day in and day out\u201d she exclaims.<\/p>\n
At the end of a long day, Tennah does two main things to help her relax. \u201cShower and self-isolate,\u201d she says, although the isolation can become a hurdle. \u201cIt\u2019s very hard with my husband.\u201d This is repeated each day, but Tennah perseveres.<\/p>\n
When times get tough, Tennah reminds herself why she started working as a nurse in the first place. \u201cI wanted to do something that matters,\u201d she says. What Tennah does and contributes matters the most to our residents and their loved ones, and Woodbine is appreciative of the hard work she puts in every day. Thank you for allowing us Behind the Mask, Tennah!<\/p>\n
