Pickup Lines For Old People: Grandpa: Hey baby, you better call life alert because I've fallen for you and can't get up On that note... haha This reminded me of a few times where I have had patients hitting on each other, and on me. Once they are getting up in age, they tend to forget a lot of things that they used to believe in or standards they used to have, etc. Family members get upset because their parents are doing things they didn't used to think was appropriate, and expect staff to be able to keep them apart. One couple that we had was quite hilarious, his family had requested that we try to keep them separate, and so as I was just leaving around 9 or 10 every night, without fail, I would catch her sneaking, literally tiptoeing and crouching down trying to sneak into his room to visit him. I would always send her back to bed, much as you would chastise a 5 year old for being caught out of bed. The other day I was at work, I was working a double and a guy friend...

Sorry I'm late posting guys, it's been a long hard week, to be honest. This week's post is a list of ways that identify you as a true CNA, composed by myself and a few coworkers.

Nov. 18 th - 2 hrs I was helping with bingo again today, but got started by running a couple errands for the activities director and cleaning up lunch with the CNAs. We also got to go door to door to pick up the patients, which was so satisfying, it felt like I was back at work again, doing what I love. J The faces were different, but the feeling is the same. Anyways, we got everyone and started playing, and one of the gentlemen sitting next to me started flirting with me, and it was hilarious! The other patients at the table started talking about how he proposes to a girl a day. He was a charmer, it was funny! We had a lot of good laughs during today’s game, between my messing up on the numbers and the gentleman I was helping telling the same stories over and over, we had a great time.
