how will this impact on my accruing activites hours since i technically won't be doing actibities until the facility opens in the fall?

2017-06-22

07:04:36 PM

lisasittniewski

i am totally diving into that! I just received the offer letter today

2017-06-22

07:04:45 PM

kathyhughes

Apply using Track 4 and then when you have the hours you can level change

2017-06-22

07:05:04 PM

lisasittniewski

i was going with the bachelor's track

2017-06-22

07:05:18 PM

kathyhughes

Apply using Track 4 so that you can take the exam

2017-06-22

07:05:31 PM

lisasittniewski

oh, i see...

2017-06-22

07:05:41 PM

lisasittniewski

so i cannot count the summer as activites hours?

2017-06-22

07:05:53 PM

kathyhughes

Use the Bachelors, the continuing ed, the MEPAP classes and all you will be missing are the hours

2017-06-22

07:06:17 PM

kathyhughes

Not sure....but you would be able to take the exam ASAP

2017-06-22

07:06:40 PM

lisasittniewski

so to be clear...after i leave Heathwood, i will not be acruing hours until the facility opens and i begin doing activites again?

2017-06-22

07:06:41 PM

kathyhughes

and you are still certified.....you would need 20 weeks to complete the hours

2017-06-25

2017-06-25

08:18:29 AM

maryjane1

2017-06-25

08:18:32 AM

alexandrac

2017-06-25

08:18:50 AM

alexandrac

2017-06-25

2017-06-25

2017-06-25

08:29:29 AM

maryjane1

oh cool

2017-06-25

08:29:57 AM

maryjane1

thats a really good idea, maybe, I will steal it

2017-06-25

08:30:02 AM

alexandrac

yes I used to have more time, but because our calendar involves the whole facility 600 people everything has to be put together

2017-06-25

08:30:06 AM

alexandrac

yes do it!!!

2017-06-25

08:30:33 AM

alexandrac

look in your tv guide, boston pops has an anual show that I think is televised too

2017-06-25

08:30:46 AM

maryjane1

I love our AD, as a person, but not so much as an AD

2017-06-25

08:30:59 AM

maryjane1

yes it is

2017-06-25

08:31:02 AM

alexandrac

that can be frustrating

2017-06-25

08:31:34 AM

maryjane1

we actually have a woman who works there who goes to the pops every year

2017-06-25

08:31:38 AM

alexandrac

when i was the assistant my situation was opposite, she was a good AD but i thought an odd person

2017-06-25

08:31:51 AM

maryjane1

yes, I like to be organized

2017-06-25

08:32:00 AM

alexandrac

very secretive, never really knew what she was thinking

2017-06-25

08:32:02 AM

maryjane1

lol

2017-06-25

08:32:13 AM

alexandrac

YES organization is key!!!!

2017-06-25

08:32:32 AM

alexandrac

especially since the residents can derail it at any moment!!

2017-06-25

08:32:49 AM

maryjane1

well, ours wont tell us whats coming up, doesnt advocate for her staff, so I deal with that stuff

2017-06-25

08:32:57 AM

alexandrac

eeek

2017-06-25

08:33:18 AM

alexandrac

so you don't do any of the care plan charting?

2017-06-25

08:33:20 AM

maryjane1

we only have 57 residents

2017-06-25

08:33:56 AM

maryjane1

no, but I told her the other day that I want to sit in on a couple

2017-06-25

08:34:13 AM

maryjane1

she acted like she didn't want me to.

2017-06-25

08:34:15 AM

alexandrac

what about the participation charting?

2017-06-25

08:34:31 AM

maryjane1

the social worker will let me, im sure

2017-06-25

08:34:42 AM

alexandrac

assessments?

2017-06-25

08:34:53 AM

maryjane1

sometimes

2017-06-25

08:35:26 AM

alexandrac

I attend the care plan meetings, but my staff does most of the assessments, chart notes, participation, and obervation charts

2017-06-25

08:35:28 AM

maryjane1

athe participation charts me or the other act. aides do it

2017-06-25

08:35:50 AM

alexandrac

cool

2017-06-25

08:35:50 AM

maryjane1

well that makes sense!

2017-06-25

08:36:26 AM

alexandrac

they (and you!) are the ones that are working mostly directly with the folks, see them every moment, know them best

2017-06-25

08:36:32 AM

maryjane1

the problem is , is that she doesn't delegate well

2017-06-25

08:36:43 AM

alexandrac

oooh, not good

2017-06-25

08:37:07 AM

alexandrac

I miss being "boots on the ground" sometimes but my new role is to delegate and oversee

2017-06-25

08:37:08 AM

maryjane1

never have the supplies we need when we need them
