At CynaMed, we believe a sense of humor is key to balancing the heavy burdens that often come along with nursing in an assisted living environment. This blog is all about fun. We’ve compiled a list of funny nursing quotes that we know every assisted living nurse can relate to.
Funny Nursing Quotes
We appreciate that assisted living nursing is unique in that most of the patient population is seniors. Assisted living nurses have specialized experience and extensive knowledge of issues and conditions as they relate to aging. It’s a role that requires deep compassion, a lot of patience, and intrinsic motivation to make a positive impact on this delicate demographic.
The impact that individuals are able to make as RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and Certified Med Techs is great in assisted living facilities. They get to enhance the quality of life for their patients daily. They get to care for them, educate, and offer encouragement when it’s needed most.
The burden can get heavy when caring for patients on a daily basis. It’s important to take a break and embrace some humor when it comes to the important work you do.
