2017-03-16 05:49:09 PM nursesusie Why can't the cnas on night shift do them.
2017-03-16 05:49:12 PM kathyhughes Huh......I am not sure how you should approach this I know what I would do
2017-03-16 05:49:34 PM carolyna what would you do? LOL
2017-03-16 05:49:39 PM kathyhughes There is a Federal Regulation about jobs
2017-03-16 05:50:03 PM kathyhughes I would have to do some research for the exact wording
2017-03-16 05:50:10 PM jrothermel85 at my place they have a wheel chair wednesday and housekeeping cleans a wings worth of chairs in the early morning before everyone gets up
2017-03-16 05:50:14 PM carolyna she is more worried about the federal reg about keeping them in good working order

2017-03-16 05:59:14 PM nursesusie you are right. My problem is they put most of the resident down early in the afternoon.

2017-03-16 06:00:23 PM rebeccaa Our church is in the afternoon which interferes with there end of shift duties and getting out on time but I had to really explain the importance
2017-03-16 06:00:27 PM cathyross enter the chat room
2017-03-16 06:00:30 PM tvs320 Staffing is always and issure for the aides
2017-03-16 06:00:35 PM pamgoodwin No not me, Ive been in the south way to long to ever deal with snow ever again
2017-03-16 06:00:41 PM kathyhughes So think about it a moment.........
2017-03-16 06:00:42 PM marissavega1274 me too
2017-03-16 06:01:12 PM kathyhughes If the nurses sign off on the Care Plans....including the activities care plan.....then
2017-03-16 06:01:25 PM nursesusie I usually get the resident back uyp myself.
2017-03-16 06:01:26 PM pamgoodwin Are we discussing CNA's bring residents to programs???
2017-03-16 06:01:29 PM kathyhughes they are responsible to assure that it is being done
2017-03-16 06:01:35 PM kathyhughes Yes
2017-03-16 06:01:54 PM rebeccaa Hence the importance of resident specific care plans
2017-03-16 06:02:01 PM kathyhughes And I have been known to bring that to their attention
2017-03-16 06:02:19 PM kathyhughes As a legal, medical document
2017-03-16 06:02:28 PM beacht our staff is 50/50.. some are helpful and some are just plain mean! they dont get what we do is important
2017-03-16 06:02:29 PM tvs320 good idea
2017-03-16 06:02:30 PM rebeccaa Good to know
2017-03-16 06:02:31 PM marissavega1274 our aids are helpful especally when i help them in the diningroom
2017-03-16 06:03:07 PM pamgoodwin I can't rely on my CNA's to help, even tho if they did it would lighten their load for an hour or two. I do most of the transporting myself or with some of my team if they are free. Sometimes a volunteer helps out depending on the time of day.
2017-03-16 06:03:14 PM rebeccaa I help for two meals, and potty and answer call lights and transfer
2017-03-16 06:03:16 PM severest enter the chat room
2017-03-16 06:03:23 PM kathyhughes Does anyone think that activities are important????
2017-03-16 06:03:29 PM kathyhughes Hello Sunita
2017-03-16 06:03:34 PM tvs320 My aides are great. It is just when we have agency help.
2017-03-16 06:03:44 PM marissavega1274 yes when they want to get rid of the difficult residents
2017-03-16 06:03:44 PM aclark yes very important
2017-03-16 06:03:47 PM pamgoodwin Activities important??? Heck Yeah
2017-03-16 06:03:48 PM tvs320 I Do!!!!!
2017-03-16 06:03:51 PM beacht No one but us really. They think we are just playing
2017-03-16 06:03:52 PM severest hi everyone.
2017-03-16 06:03:54 PM kathyhughes We all do
2017-03-16 06:03:54 PM marissavega1274 to some aids
2017-03-16 06:04:03 PM pamgoodwin Now are they all meaningful? Not to sure on that one.
2017-03-16 06:04:05 PM rebeccaa Most of my staff thinks it is very important they are just terribly under staffed and very frustrated
2017-03-16 06:04:18 PM kathyhughes But it is the perception that activities are extras
2017-03-16 06:04:27 PM nursesusie The only time all the cna get involved is when they think they will get a piece of cake or popcorn.
2017-03-16 06:04:27 PM kathyhughes and that all we do is have fun
2017-03-16 06:04:31 PM beacht our activities are all resident centered. They choose so all of ours are meaningfull to them
2017-03-16 06:04:34 PM tvs320 I remind them that church is the most important thing in some of these peoples lives.... Get them there! or have them ready for me
2017-03-16 06:04:41 PM carolyna I think my aides just are used to them being active. I keep hearing how much more involved I am with the residents than the previous coordinator
2017-03-16 06:04:52 PM rebeccaa this is where inservices can really help their perception
2017-03-16 06:04:57 PM marissavega1274 the crazy part is ss tells us how we are needed
2017-03-16 06:04:58 PM carolyna Kathy, I loved your interview
2017-03-16 06:05:03 PM pamgoodwin In my facility they think all we do is play BINGO!!!
2017-03-16 06:05:07 PM kathyhughes Right
2017-03-16 06:05:07 PM marissavega1274 i saw it also
2017-03-16 06:05:10 PM kathyhughes Thanks!
2017-03-16 06:05:10 PM marissavega1274 very cool
2017-03-16 06:05:13 PM pamgoodwin Gets very frustrating
2017-03-16 06:05:23 PM aclark lol I had to stop them from playing today
2017-03-16 06:05:32 PM kathyhughes So here is my challenge
2017-03-16 06:05:37 PM beacht inservices dont help me. i am working a big one for the midterm and our education nurse wants to really use it! I cant wait
2017-03-16 06:05:39 PM carolyna I have to work on my confidence if that is important LOL
2017-03-16 06:05:39 PM pamgoodwin Bring it
2017-03-16 06:06:07 PM kathyhughes For National Nursing Home Week....have each dept responsible for 1 hour of an activity
2017-03-16 06:06:14 PM tvs320 They wanted to put a wonder guard on a resident today. I had to advicate for her! She is not wondering. She might be 94 but she knows where she is and where she is going.
2017-03-16 06:06:17 PM marissavega1274 im nt confident i just fake it lol
2017-03-16 06:06:24 PM kathyhughes They can do any activity that they want with the residents
2017-03-16 06:06:33 PM kathyhughes It has to be 1 hour
2017-03-16 06:06:37 PM jrothermel85 oh wow that is interesting
2017-03-16 06:06:38 PM beacht we have tried that kathy! doesnt work so well! but i will definatley share with my boss!
2017-03-16 06:06:45 PM severest most of our resident choose their own activity but we have one group that we need to plan for them
2017-03-16 06:06:47 PM rebeccaa I get frustrated when they talk so loud and we have an entertainer or trivia and the residents cannot hear. The resident bring it up at every resident council
2017-03-16 06:06:59 PM pamgoodwin Not sure I can pull that off in my facility..but I'll give it a go
2017-03-16 06:07:01 PM carolyna hmm. I do have an aide that is trying to start a knitting group
2017-03-16 06:07:13 PM kathyhughes I had them all take 1 hour of a Bingo Marathon
2017-03-16 06:07:18 PM carolyna Rebecca, I am so there with you
2017-03-16 06:07:25 PM tvs320 great idea
2017-03-16 06:07:25 PM kathyhughes they had to provide the snack and prizes
2017-03-16 06:07:27 PM nursesusie Sounds like a winner, now we will see you really cares.
2017-03-16 06:07:32 PM cathyross good idea!
2017-03-16 06:07:42 PM kathyhughes I told them we had been doing it for years
2017-03-16 06:07:44 PM carolyna sometimes, thought the buildings are not built for activities
2017-03-16 06:07:52 PM beacht rebeccaa that is frusterating.. more so when its family who comes in and interupts everyone! our residents dont take kindly to it!
2017-03-16 06:07:53 PM kathyhughes So they did
2017-03-16 06:08:03 PM pamgoodwin I'll get excuses that there isn't enough CNA's on the halls--whatever
2017-03-16 06:08:16 PM beacht my boss is all for making everyone help and she is not afride to speack up!
2017-03-16 06:08:23 PM marissavega1274 im going to bring this up at stand up,, that way i can look them in the eye lol
2017-03-16 06:08:29 PM aclark yes very serious about bingo
2017-03-16 06:08:40 PM carolyna Marissa, I want your backbone LOL
