I have an old soul

Alexa's grandma gave her electric curlers and she wanted to try them out on me so I let her, don't I look so seasoned?  Ha ha I think I can pull them off!! 

Now that I work on Tuesdays I get to take the residents down to play bingo... except this Tuesday ES and I decided to play with them!! It was so much fun! :) I didn't realize you can only get ONE prize so I almost stole a second bite size candy... WOOPS!! 

I think I won't have any problems transitioning into an elderly person, I could easily watch TV all day, play bingo, and complain about stuff!

Can't you see I'm having a baby??

One day as I was making my rounds after coming on shift, I walked into room 120 to check on her.  Instead of being in the chair that she usually is, she was laying on her bed. . .completely naked.  I asked her what in the world she was doing and she replied, "Can't you see I'm having a baby?? Now come over here and help me give birth!". . . . Needless to say, I somehow convinced her that she wasn't pregnant.  What an eventful afternoon. . . .

Wander Guard Prank

I was walking out of the front doors with my backpack after I had clocked out for the night and passed 104 on the way.  She was watching TV in the front room, which I thought was very strange.  I kept walking anyways and said goodnight to her.  

I opened the door and the alarm when off.  104 started laughing hysterically and wouldn't stop for five minutes straight.  I finally got her to tell me why the alarm went off and this is what she said:  "While you were finishing the laundry, I snuck into the nurses station and found an extra wander guard lying on the counter.  I grabbed it, put it in the very bottom of your backpack and then hurried back to my room!" 

That is why 104 was watching TV in the living room, just so she could watch me set the alarm off while I went out.  What a funny lady!

Like hell you will

One day I went into room 121 and BR was sitting on 121's bed and HH was sitting in her wheelchair and 121 was sitting in her rocking chair talking on the phone.

I walked in and said, "It looks like a party in here, there's nowhere to sit, maybe I'll just sit on 121's lap!!!!"  Then I pretended to start sitting down on her lap and she said, "Like hell you will!!!"  Everyone started laughing and the person on the phone asked what was so funny and 121 replied, "Oh just one of these girls messing with me...."

I love her and miss her terribly :(

Being adorably proper

As I was doing waters at work today, I went into room 114 and asked him how he was doing!! He replied, "Pretty good for an old duffer."  Then I said, "You look good for an old duffer!!"  And then he kind of bowed to me and said, "Thank you madam."  Then I kind of bowed back and said, "You're welcome sir!"

It was really funny.

Yes, I have created a new blog devoted to stories that happen at work

Sooooooo..... being a CNA, crazy things are always happening and I wanted an outlet to put all of the crazy things that happen at work.  Obviously I don't want to break any rules by providing names because that is violating OSHA, so I am going to refer to their room #'s to replace their actual names &  I will refer to coworkers by their initials to keep everything confidential (please do the same).  I am eventually going to get all of my coworkers writing in this blog... because I think it would be fun to share all of our stories.  Because this is going to be a blog shared with multiple people, please sign your initials at the end of the post so we know who the story belongs to.  I am so excited to share all of my stories through this blog and other CNA coworkers as well, I hope you enjoy them!!
