Part 1: The Blood Pressure Faker

It started with one CNA, who we’ll call Linda, casually walking into the breakroom announcing residents’ blood pressures without a cuff in sight. “Mr. Jones? Oh, he’s a cool 120/80,” she said, sipping her coffee. Meanwhile, her coworkers stared in disbelief.

“How do you know that?” someone asked.

Linda smirked, “You just feel it in your soul.”

Let’s just say, soul medicine doesn’t cut it in healthcare.

The Sheet Tosser

Part 2: The Sheet Tosser

Next up was another CNA, who decided the best way to deal with a resident’s “accident” was to toss the pooped-on sheets straight into the trash instead of washing them.

“Where’s the dignity in that?” one coworker mumbled, watching the sheets go.

The dignity might’ve been lost, but the smell was still very much present.

The Call Light Hider

A cartoon of a resident slyly hiding a call light under their pillow while a CNA frantically searches the room. CNA funny stories, nursing home chaos, call light drama, healthcare humor

Part 3: The Call Light Hider

Over on another hall, a resident got crafty—hiding call lights from their more “needy” neighbors.

“This one presses the button every five minutes,” they said, sliding the call light under their pillow.

By the time the CNA found it, they were ready to hide themselves!

The Linen Thief

Part 4: The Linen Thief

Then there was Karen, the Linen Thief. Too lazy to go to the laundry room, she simply snuck into other halls and stole their supplies.

“Where’s all my linen?” a fellow CNA shouted.

Karen shrugged, pushing a cart piled high with stolen towels and sheets.

The Double-Briefer

Part 5: The Double-Briefer

And finally, the double-briefer. This CNA thought it was easier to double up on briefs than to change them regularly.

“It’ll keep them dry,” they reasoned.

Spoiler: It didn’t. It caused rashes—and a whole lot of trouble.
