\nThe Woodbine High School CNA Class of 2022, with their teaching team and Woodbine Administrator Donna Shaw (third from right, pink mask). <\/small><\/p>\n

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15, 2022 \u2013 Donna Shaw, administrator of Woodbine Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Alexandria, is passionate about serving the seniors in her care. But, she said, while commitment to residents is key, also important is a commitment to nursing itself and to furthering the profession. <\/p>\n

Woodbine has long been a champion of CNA (certified nursing assistant) training programs like the one at Alexandria High School, and Shaw recently delivered the keynote address to the program\u2019s Class of 2022. The 16 students completed their clinical training at the local skilled nursing center, gaining hands-on experience with patients under the supervision of Woodbine\u2019s nursing team. <\/p>\n

Shaw noted that seeing such a large class makes her happy. \u201cThe world is in need of people like you who will make a difference in the life of another human being,\u201d she told the students. \u201cYou are embarking on a career that will bring you so much joy. As a nurse myself, I can tell you that you may have difficult days, you may have challenging patients, but know that your patients will be so very grateful for the care that you provide.” <\/p>\n

Woodbine DON Reflects Next-Generation Potential
\nAs a case study in continuity, not only is Woodbine working to foster the next generation of healthcare workers right in the local community but provides a microcosm of the highest-quality professionals who launch their careers via CNA training programs like Alexandria High School\u2019s. <\/p>\n

Woodbine\u2019s own director of nursing \u2013 Springfield, Va., resident Florence Debra, is a 1991 graduate of the very program Woodbine now supports and has been part of the facility\u2019s care team since then. Originally from Ghana, she has a deep background as a clinician and leader. Debra holds an administrator\u2019s license and is a certified nurse executive. In addition, she is certified by the American Association of Post-Acute Care Nursing and obtained her infection preventionist credential. <\/p>\n

Last fall, Debra was presented with the Virginia Health Care Association\u2019s (VHCA-VCAL’s) \u201cDirector of Nursing of the Year Award.\u201d VHCA-VCAL\u2019s annual award recognizes an individual who possesses and demonstrates clinical and managerial expertise; leadership skills in quality care with positive outcomes; respect for residents, co-workers and policy; integrity and a high standard of ethical behavior; the ability to maintain an efficient, professional environment; and availability to staff and family members. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly proud that Flo was recognized as the best DON in the State of Virginia \u2013 an attribute that resonates every day in the care provided to Woodbine\u2019s residents,\u201d Shaw said. \u201cShe is a testament to the great foundation provided by the high school program, and the commitment its graduates make to our industry and their communities.\u201d <\/p>\n

Shaw added that in addition to its involvement with the Alexandria High School CNA program, her team also provides hands-on opportunities for registered nursing candidates from local nursing schools, and are delighted that they often return to apply for permanent positions. <\/p>\n

Located at 2729 King St. in Alexandria,\u202fWoodbine Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, with 307 beds, provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care, with a range of\u202fprogressive,\u202fspecialty skilled nursing services.\u202fIt\u202fhas the state\u2019s largest licensed skilled nursing capacity. Woodbine, which maintains a five-star rating in quality measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), recently was recognized as one of Virginia\u2019s top nursing homes in Newsweek\u2019s America\u2019s Best Nursing Homes 2022 \u2013 for the third consecutive year. <\/p>\n
