A CNA was feeding a patient who had a great sense of humor. The CNA was being very careful not to spill anything. But the patient deliberately made a face as if the food was the worst thing ever when in fact it was his favorite. Then he burst out laughing, and the CNA couldn't help but laugh too. It was a moment that made the day more enjoyable for both of them.
Sure. One CNA funny story is about a patient who was always misplacing his glasses. The CNA found them on top of his head numerous times. Every time the patient would be frantically looking around and the CNA would just point to his head, and they'd both have a good laugh.
Sure. One CNA scary story could be about an old, abandoned hospital wing. A CNA was working late one night and heard strange noises coming from that wing. When she went to check, she saw a shadowy figure at the end of the hallway. She quickly turned back, but the feeling of being watched stayed with her all night.
Sure. One CNA success story is about a CNA named Jane. She started working in a small nursing home. By being extremely dedicated, always on time, and showing great care for the patients, she was soon noticed by the management. They provided her with extra training opportunities. Eventually, she got promoted to a senior CNA position and is now in charge of training new CNAs.
Sure. There was a CNA who worked in a long - term care facility. A new patient was having a hard time adjusting and was very withdrawn. The CNA started a little gardening project with the patient, getting some potted plants for them to take care of together. This activity slowly brought the patient out of their shell and they became more sociable with other residents.
I heard a story where a CNA was pushing a patient in a wheelchair to the garden. Along the way, a squirrel ran in front of them and the patient started making squirrel noises to try and communicate with it. The CNA was trying so hard not to laugh. Another story was about a CNA who tried to sing a lullaby to a patient to help them sleep but ended up forgetting the words and making up the silliest lyrics.
A CNA once had to deal with a verbally abusive patient. The patient would constantly hurl insults and threats at the CNA. It made the work environment very hostile. Despite the CNA's best efforts to remain calm and professional, it was really hard to endure on a daily basis.
There was a CNA story where a group of CNAs in a small community hospital organized a surprise celebration for all the patients on a particular ward. They brought in homemade treats, decorated the ward, and arranged for some local musicians to come and play gentle music. It was a heartwarming event that got a lot of attention and showed the positive impact CNAs can have on patient morale.
There was this CNA who worked in a facility with poor hygiene standards. One day, they discovered a bedbug infestation in several patient rooms. It was horrifying for the patients and extremely difficult for the CNA to deal with. They had to try to keep the patients comfortable while waiting for the exterminators to come and sort out the problem. The whole situation made the working environment very unpleasant and the patients very distressed.
Sure. Once there was a cat that tried to catch its own tail. It spun around in circles, looking so confused. It was hilarious.
Sure. There was a girl who tried to ride a bike for the first time. She was so nervous that she pedaled backwards instead of forwards. As a result, she just stayed in one place while making a lot of effort. Another story is about a grandpa who accidentally put on his glasses on top of his head and then spent half an hour looking for them.
