Who knew?!!

Welp, CNA is the job I've waited for all my life, and I've finally nailed it.  Well........really I would LOVE to be an LPN or RN but don't think that will happen in this lifetime....just too expensive.  Who knew that I would be so happy wiping butts, dressing folks, feeding folks, cleaning and scooping up puke, making the same beds 2 or 3 times a day, walking 20 miles in a weekend up and down the same 3 halls, giving folks showers, emptying catheter bags, putting medicine on bed sores, etc.  This job is certainly not for just the average "Joe".  Example........I don't think everyone could handle my situation on Monday!  I actually got poop in my hair!  (Don't ask!)  Just part of the job.  I'm now known as "shit head" to the RNs on my halls.  Some people go to work and get ink, chalk or drymarker on their hands.  NOT ME!  I get poop in my hair.  Now that's an adventure of a lifetime.  No day is ever the same, and I LOVE IT!  Another funny....caught a resident that can have nothing by mouth trying to get a drink of water out of the water fountain using his ball cap.  Such a sweet old guy who got a big grin on his face when he was caught!  How many people can say that they actually look forward to going to work everyday?  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!  I have such great support from my sweet husband too!  Life is so good..........
