Life, Laughter, and Lots of Patients: 5 Reasons to Be a CNA

People, People, and More People!

If you’re the kind of person who thrives on human connection, being a CNA is your calling. Every shift introduces you to a parade of characters—patients, their families, and your ever-entertaining coworkers. One moment, you’re listening to a retired firefighter recount a heroic rescue, and the next, you’re laughing with a colleague over how the vending machine somehow turned your chips into potato confetti. It’s like hosting your own variety show, minus the commercial breaks.

And the patients? Oh, the stories they’ll tell! Some will warm your heart, others will leave you laughing out loud, and a few might even make you question how anyone survived the '80s. Forget TV dramas—real life is so much better.
