Karen’s No-Nonsense CNA Rules: The Unwritten Code We ALL Follow

In every workplace, there are rules—and then there are unwritten rules, the kind that everyone follows, but no one talks about. In a nursing home, the rules are even more unique, and nobody knows them better than Karen, the no-nonsense CNA who does her job but doesn’t take any mess. In this blog, we’re diving into Karen’s unwritten CNA code, a set of hilarious and surprisingly accurate rules that every CNA will relate to.

If You See Me Sitting, Pretend You Didn’t.

Karen’s golden rule: when a CNA finally sits down after three hours of non-stop work, that break is sacred. If you see her sitting for the first time all day, look away—because she’s definitely not getting up anytime soon.

As Karen says, “If you think you saw me taking a break, you didn’t. Keep walking.”
