I get so sick of looking at the downside to being a CNA (not bashing anyone here). I just thought of this thread idea that could be a bit funny....
To start this off...
1) I had a demented LOL who wanted a cigarette. I could not give her one because the last time said had a cigarette she set her own hair on fire. When I told her that I could not give her one (for several reasons), she replied "What the *ell kind of place is this?" That response earned her a hug!
2)I had a blind and bed-bound resident call me fat even though he had never touched me. How would he know I am fat?
3)Same above resident threatened to kick the a$$ of his PITA quad roommate. He roommate (I'm sorry to say) was a jerk so I would have paid money to see this!
I know there are more out there....the floor is yours...
im one of two male cna students we were changng an older gentleman that likes to tell jokes so while he was talking to me my classmate was cleaning his privates when he spun around and said "HEY! you playing with my peter?" and then laughed histericaly lol you should have seen my classmates face it was priceless
Today...I was doing a last round on a combative resident. Meh...he's cool. Just doesn't care to be changed.
So, I told him to roll onto his back so that I could finish wiping and putting on the diaper. He did...while cursing up a storm. Told me to leave him 'the f** alone'.
I braced myself in case he decided to strike. Wiped him. Secured the diaper and pulled the sheets over him as I said, "Ok, Mr H --but, we gotta keep you clean...y'know? I know you don't want to be sleeping in doo-doo an pee all night..."
He yelled while facing the wall, his back to me, "LOOK - I CAN'T SLEEP IN PEACE, NO WAY. 'CAUSE EVERYTIME I TURN 'ROUND, YOU B..STARDS ARE DIGGIN' IN MY A**! DAY AND NIGHT, YOU'RE TRYNA DIG IN MY A**! WELL, WHATCHA IN'ERE LOOKIN' FOR, HUH? 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW.... YOU LOOKIN' FOR A G*DD**N GENIE TO POP OUT OF IT?"
Then...
"GET OUTTA MY A**!"
I love the elderly....
*laugh*
My response: "Ok, sir...we're done...you can go back to sleep..."
I've honestly thought about the whole changing thing. We wake them up constantly to 'check for wetness'.
That would annoy me too, I guess.
Hey that's great !!! You can use that the next time you have to 'check for wetness'.......just say you have to check for a genie popping out of his backside.....

I had a little old lady tell me that I had a "goat head." What does that even mean?
