National Nurses Week in May
National Nurses Week is
celebrated every year from May 6-12
and is a time for nurses to be honored
and recognized as a profession for the
work that they do and the commitment
and contributions they make to their
communities.
Nurses Week is always ended with
National Nurses Day, and is
celebrated each year on May 12,
Florence Nightingale’s Birthday. Many
countries around the world hold
additional celebrations to honor
nurses, such as the U.S., Canada, the
UK and Australia.
Often described as an art and a
science, nursing is a profession that
embraces dedicated people with
varied interests, strengths and
passions because of the many
opportunities the profession offers.
At Heritage of Foley, we employ
many wonderful nurses in the Nursing
Center, as well as at Heritage Home
Health. It takes a special person to
balance the science of nursing with
the heart that is required to offer the
best care.
Nursing is an Art
Nursing is an art; and if it is to be
made an art, it requires as exclusive
devotion, as hard a preparation, as
any painter’s or sculptor’s work;
For what is the having to do with
dead canvas or cold marble,
compared with having to do with the
living body the temple of God’s spirit?
It is one of the Fine Arts;

Leading our Nursing staff are
Heather Meixner, R.N., Director of
Nursing at the Foley Nursing Center,
and Gini Pilles, R.N. Director of
Heritage Home Health.
Heritage of Foley would like to
thank all of our nurses for your
outstanding care to our residents and
clients in our community.
I had almost said
the finest of Fine Arts

Satisfy Your Senses
With Fresh Salsa
A Mexican staple for centuries,
salsa is now found almost
everywhere. Some recipes call for
salsa to be cooked or canned, but you
can make a fresh salsa by just
chopping or blending the ingredients.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Building blocks. There are many
different types of salsa, with endless
possibilities for ingredients. A basic,
traditional salsa usually contains
tomatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, lime
juice, cilantro, salt and sugar.
Tomato talk. Tomatoes are the
foundation of a good salsa. Fresh,
juicy tomatoes are best, especially if
you like your salsa chunky. However,
you can also use canned varieties and
combine them with the other
ingredients in a blender for a thin,
smooth salsa.
Taste test. Use your preferences

as a guideline. If you’re not a fan of
strong flavors such as garlic or
cilantro, use less of those ingredients.
The spiciness level can be adjusted,
too, by removing the seeds and
membranes from the peppers or
leaving them in for extra heat.
Fun with flavors. Once you’ve
had success with a basic salsa,
experiment with other ingredients
and recipes. Common additions
include black beans or corn. You can
also try different types of tomatoes
and peppers.
Wit & Wisdom

—Rosa Parks
Back to Basics
Surveys indicate the majority of
people believe we, as a society, are
getting ruder. The second week in
May is National Etiquette Week—a
great time to brush up on the basics.
Etiquette is much more general
than knowing which fork to use
at a formal dinner party. At its
foundation, etiquette is simply basic
good manners, some of which you
may remember from childhood.
For example:
Magic words. Never underestimate
the power of “please,” “thank you” and
“excuse me.”
Forgive and forget. Just got cut off
in traffic? Whether the other driver
didn’t see you or just wasn’t paying
attention doesn’t make it right, but
laying on the horn or making rude
gestures won’t help. Just take a deep
breath and keep going.
Phone fixation. Since many of us
seemingly cannot function without our
phones, it’s important to use them
politely. Keep the volume of
conversations down, and don’t hold up
lines while texting or finishing a call. If
you’re spending time with a friend or
loved one, focus on them, not
your phone.
Practice politeness. Nearly every
day will present you with an
opportunity to practice politeness—
hold a door open for someone,
or let that person with just a couple of
items go ahead of you in line at
the store.
Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients:
• Cooking spray
• 1 head cauliflower, cut into
small florets
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 Vidalia onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 2 tablespoons chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon chopped
fresh parsley
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450° F. Spray
a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Combine the cauliflower,
1 tablespoon of oil, and salt in a large
bowl; toss to coat well. Spread the
cauliflower in a single layer on the
baking sheet. Roast, stirring once or
twice, until the cauliflower is just
tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining
1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet
over medium-high heat. Add the
onion and cook until tender, about
8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook,
stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the ranch dressing and broth;
bring to a simmer. Add the cauliflower,
tossing gently to coat well. Transfer
to a serving bowl and sprinkle
with parsley.
