ROSE: But that's --
MARLA: I think -- I think that you answered most of my questions --
ROSE: Uh-hum.
MARLA: -- that I have on this sheet.
So if there's anything else you wanted to say for the record about your life being a health aide, your experiences, then I would say, you know, any advice you might have for future.
ROSE: Yeah. I suppose -- I suppose there's lots to say. But you know, the young health aides right now, they are giving their best shot. Even the young alternates that I had at the clinic, I know that they were -- they were really, really a high strong young ladies. They were doing their best.
We have good people here. Yeah. We have good girls. Right now we've got good staff back there. Talk about smart girls. They are -- them -- I don't know how much -- I don't think they are like me. Them going out for school, you know.
So with the school, with the education they got, they haven't got very -- well, not like me, there still ain't no -- they know. They know how to go to school. They have been out for high school, some of them even been out for college. So they tackle their job. So it's -- it's much easier for them, I think. Uh-hum.
We got one back there, one young one that came up, Jana, Jana Sam, what, she's been out in college for five or six years. Yeah.
See, she already was -- she thought she was going to be RN. But when she heard this opening for the third primary health aide, she came back to the Bush and she wanted to get in the Health Aide Program.
And she said the reason why she's doing that is because she always wished that she lived -- she -- she wanted to be nurse, you know, and but live out here in the Bush.
So that's pretty good anyway. Most of the time we lose our good ones, the ones that are nurses or PA or something, we lose them to the city. But this -- this one anyway is with us right now.
MARLA: That's great.
ROSE: Yeah.
MARLA: I have to flip the tape.
ROSE: Go ahead.
MARLA: Well, I just wanted to say thank you for doing this interview.
ROSE: Thank you very much.
MARLA: Thank you.
ROSE: Anyway, this was really fun.
MARLA: Good. I'm glad. I had fun, too.
ROSE: Uh-hum. Uh-hum.
