Linda Cardenas, ASA 2021 National Staffing Employee of the Year
Cardenas began working with Assured Healthcare Staffing in 2016 as a contract substitute school nurse with the Round Lake Beach, IL, school district. She established a great rapport with the students and teachers at all of the schools she was assigned―particularly with one school, Ellis Elementary and, in August 2017, Cardenas bridged to a permanent role as a school nurse there. When her school district shuttered this spring due to the pandemic, Cardenas rapidly pivoted professionally to serve as contract nurse at long-term care nursing facilities in her geographic area (on assignments through her staffing company) where multiple cases of Covid-19 were known to be present. Despite the type of work and environment differing drastically from school nursing and putting herself in a potentially dangerous situation health-wise, Cardenas stepped up and has been filling as many shifts as she can including overtime, if necessary. A staffing hero, Cardenas is providing crucial health care support to nursing home residents amid this very challenging time.
