“If you think your job stinks… try mine.”
Welcome to the world of adult briefs, sarcasm, soul-level exhaustion, and unexpected grace. In Brief Encounters: Memoirs of a CNA, author Z.A. Jene takes readers behind the scenes of long-term care—where the coffee is lukewarm, the residents are feisty, and the staff barely holds it together (with love and a lot of dark humor).
Told with a sharp wit and a big heart, these stories capture the reality of life as a Certified Nursing Assistant: the intimate, the absurd, the heartbreaking, and the hilarious. From sweet goodnights to full-blown dinner drama, from patients who surprise you to coworkers who save your sanity, Brief Encounters doesn’t sugarcoat a thing—and that’s exactly why you’ll love it.
Whether you’re a seasoned caregiver, just entering the field, or someone who’s ever wondered what really happens beyond those locked double doors, this memoir will leave you laughing, nodding, and maybe even tearing up.
This isn’t just a book. It’s a love letter to the people who wipe butts, hold hands, and somehow find the funny in it all.
