Being a CNA is a stressful job, so I think it helps to laugh at yourself.
On one of my first days as a CNA I got a man bathed and dressed who wore a brief. I had actually had a good day which was rare in my first few months of being a CNA. I did my charting feeling very proud of myself. Then another CNA came up to me and said- Mr. X has peed all over the floor, you need to go get him dressed again. NO WAY I thought, I just got him up 10 minutes ago, he couldn't have peed that much! I go in the room, remove the brief and am astonished- It was completly dry! The other CNA loooked at me and laughed. "you didn't make sure the penis was in the brief did you? UH...NO. At the time I was embarrasses but it's so funny to me now.
Everyone share your funny blooper stories!
