Once, in a nursing home, they had a pet dog. The dog got into the kitchen and stole a whole tray of cookies. When the staff chased it, the dog ran around the common room with the cookies in its mouth, and all the old people were cheering for the dog like it was in a race. It was a really funny scene.

Sure. One success story is about a nursing home that focused on personalized care. They took the time to understand each resident's hobbies and interests.

Well, there was this incident where a nurse was giving a child a shot. The child was so brave and told the nurse that he wanted a 'big boy' band - aid after.

It was really cute and made everyone in the room laugh.
Sure. One time, a nurse was trying to give a little boy a shot. The boy was so scared and kept saying he was brave like a superhero.

My nursing teacher was teaching about patient communication. She started role - playing a really grumpy patient. She was so good at it that we forgot it was a lesson and thought there was a real difficult patient in the classroom. It was hilarious.

Well, in a pediatric ward, a little girl was getting a shot. She was so brave and told the nurse 'I'm a superhero, so this won't hurt me'. But as soon as the needle went in, she let out a big 'owww' and then said 'Maybe I'm just a sidekick today'. The nurse couldn't help but laugh.
At a nursing home, they had a gardening competition. One old man planted his seeds upside down. When the plants didn't grow as expected, he was so puzzled.

Sure. There was an old man who had lost his wife. He entered the nursing home hoping to find some company. But all his roommates passed away one by one. He was left alone in the room, with no one to talk to. He would often cry at night, longing for the days when he had his family around him.
