Thoughts

• Resident's with dementia are like the weather in Chicago.  If you don't like it, wait a minute, it'll change.
• One eight hour shift working the floor nets me about 14000 steps according to my pedometer.  Conversely, giving 25 people meds for one shift gets me about 5000 steps, 35 people, 7500.
• The only right answer to "Are you busy?" is "What can I do for you?"
• Raising children is good training for being a CNA.  The goals are the same.  Keep them warm, clean, dry, fed, and don't let them knock the snot out of each other.
