You know you're a CNA when...

You find bruises on yourself and you can't account for where you would have received them.

I think i am brining home a box of gloves one dryer full at a time. :)

My mom was over spending the night, I asked her if she wanted a new pillow case and she said yes. For some reason my first instinct was to go grab gloves before I touched anything

I was handing my husband his jacket one day, I had it held up so he could put his arms through. He was like what are you doing and just took it from me.

When your CNA sences are on high alert when you see a elderly person in the grocery store and you think what do I have to do help them. You feel you need to be right there and walk next to them to try to catch them if they fall. (Where is that gait belt when you need it)

This reminds me of something that happened today. I was waiting at the bus stop and saw an old lady crossing the street. She looked in her 80s and was REALLY slow,I felt the need to watch her and make sure she crossed ok, not sure how it happened but a car was like 3 inches from her waiting for her to cross, the lady in the car actually rolled down the window and yelled at her. I was so shocked that I actually yelled at the woman in the car. Before being a CNA I don't know if I would have been brave enough to do that but I feel someone had to stick up for her.
