You Know You're A CNA When....

In honor of my first day of clinicals:

You Know You're A CNA When....

You've told a confused patient that your name was that of your coworker and to holler if they need help.

You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if the phrase, "wow, it is really quiet" is uttered.

You are the only one at the dinner table NOT allowed to talk about your day at work

You would like to meet the inventor of the call light some night in a dark alley.

You have seen more moons than the Hubbell telescope

you have no issue undressing others or yourself in public--only to then realize that it's not normal to the rest of society.

...even that resident who cusses you out every time you perform his/her ADL's finds a permanent soft spot in your heart.

...you learn to replace sadness and disappointment with a twisted sense of humor that your coworkers often mistake for innocent joy.

You're always aware of how much you drank and it's always in cc's

while shopping an alarm goes off and you immediatly think of which resident just tried to stand up on their own.
