Today, working as a CNA, my nurse convinced me that in order to collect a stool sample, you had to have the patient take a dump in your hand. I only found out he was kidding after I collected the sample. FML

Being a CNA myself, I have to wonder if you paid attention in class. They generally teach you how to do samples, and it always involves a container of some sort. I hope you were at least wearing gloves. It seems like a silly thing to wonder, but then again, you didn't have the sense to know the nurse was kidding, either.

I feel like this is common knowledge. Kind of like how with collecting a urine sample you put it in a container. YDI.

Playing a trick on a coworker is funny. Doing it at the patient's expense is terrible. Granted, they may have been speaking sarcastically and never intending to be taken seriously, joke or not.

this made me laugh so hard I started to hyperventilate. As someone who had to collect a dozen or so stool samples on my shift this evening, I could perfectly picture that scene. You're unbelievably gullible tho.

Last March I spent two weeks in the hospital and I had a male CNA who treated me like I was trying to make moves on his girlfriend - yanking my arms around, cramming pillows under me to rotate. After a few times of this I'm, like, "Hey, man. We're not playing football, here." He eased up a little after that, but, damn, it makes me appreciate female nurses a lot more.

You need some common sense if you're going to last in healthcare.

As a nurse myself, this only would have been funny if the CNA started heading towards to patients room, gloves and container in hand and then the nurse tell him it was a joke, please don't do that!!! This nurse was an ass, plain and simple. Humiliating to the patient to have to poop in someone's hands, embarrassing as hell for the CNA for "falling" for it. I say "falling" bc as nurses, CNA's or patient aides look to us for advice and knowledge, not to be used as the butt of a joke for a laugh.
