It's National Nurses Week across Canada and the Foothills
 
Head of Nurses at the Heartland By Revera Retirement Residence, Ev Glasser, says nurses are critical to the operations of the building. 
 
"I have a number of people who are amazing, and I'm proud to say that because our team cant function without amazing people. I have several staff members who have been here for over five years and they are really good at what they do, but they still take the time to find out what each resident needs and what their preference is." 
 
The nurses in the building range from Nigeria to the Phillipines and India. 
 
Glasser adds that she couldn't be prouder of the team she has, saying she is blessed to work her healthcare team everyday. 
 
Although it is Nurses Week, Glasser is recognizing all 50 members of her health care team by buying them all just a little something as a thank you gift.
