2017-06-26 08:16:47 PM dingram30 ill*

2017-06-26 08:17:14 PM dingram30 whats cp sorry
2017-06-26 08:17:19 PM aleda careplans
2017-06-26 08:17:42 PM dingram30 i dont do those the s.workers and mds do
2017-06-26 08:17:57 PM dingram30 i was supposed to sit in but they told me i didnt need to
2017-06-26 08:18:52 PM aleda wow do yu read them and check to see if they are accurate
2017-06-26 08:19:39 PM dingram30 no i have never saw them they just ask me before the meeting what activity do such n such do n i tell them they write it down and they have the meeting with the family member
2017-06-26 08:20:02 PM dingram30 ill ask bout that in the meeting in the morning thanks for puttin me up to date on things
2017-06-26 08:20:07 PM aleda that sounds like the interdis. meeting not careplans
2017-06-26 08:20:36 PM dingram30 its careplan i sometimes help send out the letters to the family r residents
2017-06-26 08:21:25 PM aleda a careplan is the goals for activities and then the interventions that need used to reach the goals
2017-06-26 08:21:37 PM dingram30 i only do mds section progres note the assessment admission name tag and picture once resdient come in and things like that n activity and act. log for what they do
2017-06-26 08:22:35 PM aleda you should look into who is doing them because the c.p. are what state will be reading then they will go around and watch and see if the act. careplans are being followed.
2017-06-26 08:22:36 PM dingram30 they do the careplan because i was training myself and they was helping me i was suppose to take it over im sure but they kept doing them and just getting me when needed
2017-06-26 08:22:59 PM dingram30 okay i will thanks again im making notes so ill ask in the morning
2017-06-26 08:23:17 PM aleda makes sense that they are for now and will ease you in
2017-06-26 08:24:03 PM aleda you should be going to the int. meetings also the ones with families we have pharmacist, nurse, don, dietary, me and even aides at ours
2017-06-26 08:24:18 PM dingram30 yea i just got to where its not overwhelming and i can come in and not be here all day lol i have 101 in building maybe 20 in the memory care but i still have to do all there paperwork asst. only does act. log for what they do
2017-06-26 08:24:26 PM aleda they will probably ease you into it all
2017-06-26 08:24:57 PM aleda yeah might be why they do the cp since you are so big
2017-06-26 08:25:01 PM dingram30 yea thats what im thinking maybe within a month r so im gone ask and then see what they say just to make sure its being done
2017-06-26 08:25:15 PM aleda im sure it is
2017-06-26 08:25:30 PM aleda those really arent things that are forgotten lol
2017-06-26 08:25:43 PM dingram30 okay gotcha
2017-06-26 08:26:59 PM aleda but you def need to know what they say since your job is to ensure that the cp are being implemented for example if i wrote in my rs cp that rs will attend group activities 3x a weekx90days and state comes in and the rs is never seen being invited to group activity thatc ould be bad trouble
2017-06-26 08:27:39 PM dingram30 understand will check with them and get the times and list of ppl and make sure thats on point
2017-06-26 08:27:58 PM aleda :)
2017-06-26 08:28:11 PM aleda it is a lot to dive into without training
2017-06-26 08:28:33 PM dingram30 yes it is ppl just see u doing act. they dont see all the paperwork u do
2017-06-26 08:28:57 PM aleda i was lucky a since im such a small facility and ive worked there since 1997 and b i had already been doing the paperwork because my director b4 wouldnt
2017-06-26 08:29:15 PM aleda its so much paperwork
2017-06-26 08:29:25 PM aleda i wish state wouldnt require so much
2017-06-26 08:30:07 PM aleda seems like they defeat their purpose they are suppose to ensure rs have QOL yet they require paperwork which takes us away from spending time with them
2017-06-26 08:30:09 PM dingram30 yes u was ....you was ready to take over and lead.....but i surely do thanks u again for taking the time out of your day to chat with me and give me information that i need.... i cant thank u enough this has been very helpful to me
2017-06-26 08:30:30 PM aleda no prob. howd you do on your quiz
2017-06-26 08:30:35 PM dingram30 yes so true i was spending hours staying in the evening to do everything i needed to do
2017-06-26 08:31:15 PM dingram30 i made a 72 but i was happy with that cause alot of that stuff i didnt know and overall i have 100 so i believe my grade should be good overall and yourself
2017-06-26 08:32:07 PM aleda i had reached question 97 and hit the scoll down button and lost it all with less then 30 minutes left had to restart i was crying and im not a person that cries so i flew through it thinking i had to try to get as many points as possible and i ended up finishing with a 92 i was stunned and greatful and still shook up for loosing it
2017-06-26 08:33:25 PM dingram30 awww man congrats on that score but like u said u been in this field so alot of it was old to you but that was super hard to me lol i needed a book or something to go by cause just using my head with all those questions was like nononononon i wasnt ready
2017-06-26 08:33:45 PM aleda i used the book the first
2017-06-26 08:34:05 PM dingram30 what book no book was offered to me online when i signed up for this class
2017-06-26 08:34:19 PM dingram30 no wonder man wish i wouldve known that
2017-06-26 08:34:23 PM aleda my printed out stuff it took me an hour and a half but luckily after it was fresh in my mind
2017-06-26 08:34:34 PM aleda i printed everything out
2017-06-26 08:34:44 PM aleda but this time i found a better way
2017-06-26 08:34:47 PM dingram30 oohohoho
2017-06-26 08:35:42 PM dingram30 next course i will print it out then cause that test was hard everything else was pretty easy for me to do
2017-06-26 08:35:47 PM aleda this time what i did was i wrote each week on a dif file folder and under each week i wrote all the reading material titles and sometimes i added a few extra words then i did the same thing on another file folder until each one had a week
2017-06-26 08:36:06 PM dingram30 smart thinking
2017-06-26 08:36:30 PM aleda then i used that to skim through real fast so id know which week to go back on and i used my ipad for that
2017-06-26 08:36:54 PM aleda i printed it all out but it was a mountain of papers and this way worked so much better'
2017-06-26 08:38:17 PM aleda the first quiz i had bundles of printed papers too many to go through im def going to keep doing it the way i did b4 i got kicked out of my test i was feeling great at how easy it was looking at file finding which week and then just clicking on it on my ipad so much easier then trying to sort through mounds of paper
2017-06-26 08:38:32 PM dingram30 ill be ready for the next class.......is it okay if i save ur number and text u here and there to see how everythings going on ur end and if i need any question reach out to you.... it was nice talking to you bout to get my son ready for bed i had to come to the job.
