Movies and TV about CNAs

[Cobweb]

For Nurses' Week, I made a little collage of nurses' pictures from movies and TV and put them on the wall. I'd like to do the same for CNA week, and I know there are movies and TV shows with nursing assistants in them, but Google is failing me! If anybody remembers any of these shows, I'd be grateful if you could tell me the names of them :) Thanks!

did you try googling Orderlies or Attendants? as that is usually what Hollywood refers to them as.

I know there was an episode of House where one of the main male characters was trying to hook up with the 'hot new CNA' (lol). Hope that helps.

"Being Human", both the British and the US version.

Why would you want to use "hollywoods" interpretation of the real thing? Nurse are most often over sexualized on TV and does not represent real life!!!! Why not research REAL heroes on the frontline to educate your fellow workers with a picture and a story of their life which would include their struggles good and bad. Call to other floors, how big is your hospital I know I had CNAs work with me I would trust my own life with others I would not trust them with my dog. If you are really into presenting the topic call other hospitals as well. IM sure you could find the real HERO!!!!

Lol...well, the way Hollywood portrays nurses was actually sort of the point of my pictures. I had everything from Nurse Ratched, to Julia, to Hot Lips Houlihan, to Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill. I got a lot of commentary on it! One of the favorites was Chloris Leachman from High Anxiety.

Thanks for your suggestions; I really appreciate everybody's input.
