I read a thread on here recently where the OP was scared of becoming a CNA because of all the negative things they heard about the job.

Personally, I love being a CNA! It’s hard, but there are a lot of things about it that make me happy.

My favorite little thing? Giving residents warm blankets 🤣 One of the nurses at my job always calls me “the warm blanket queen” because it’s my go to whenever anyone mentions they’re chilly, or they can’t sleep (I work overnights), or they’re experiencing mild soreness etc.

The surprise and sudden comfort on their faces when I cover them up with a blanket fresh out of the warmer makes me happy every time. It’s such a tiny thing, but I love it.

What makes you happy at your job?
