2017-07-25 06:27:31 PM ashley04 I introduced Ted Talks last month (which are educational videos on various topics) and my residents have enjoyed listening and discussing what was said. I even get giggles here and there
2017-07-25 06:27:31 PM yogini I AM SCARED AGAIN
2017-07-25 06:27:31 PM kathyhughes The first 8 weeks of the reading materials
2017-07-25 06:27:43 PM schiffal cyn, I totally understand but no, you can't have a resident supervise another resident. It's unsafe, they aren't aware of the rules like you are...there is also liability involved
2017-07-25 06:27:43 PM donna61 relax and do 10 things at a time lol
2017-07-25 06:27:43 PM maria7293 MISS KATTY IS ONLY ONE TEST OR WE HAVE ANOTHER AFTER THIS

2017-07-25 06:28:26 PM maria7293 FINAL TEST IS LONG
2017-07-25 06:28:31 PM kathyhughes yes
2017-07-25 06:28:37 PM cynkarnes76 some residents enjoy the program or movie I put on and others decide to sit in the "dumping ground" area, with the ones that require one on one attention but I cannot clone myself, plus I am trying to finish documentation and attend to running the program etc
2017-07-25 06:28:39 PM nnelson schmidtk22 yup. He'd gp in a corner of the patio and try to hide. I never saw him myelf but he did smell like it sometimes and someone ele saw him
2017-07-25 06:28:46 PM kathyhughes but think of it as practice for the national exam
2017-07-25 06:28:51 PM slooney We start every resident council with this question: What are you grateful for? It's changed our whole meeting into a discussion and it's been amazing to see
2017-07-25 06:28:51 PM justinel We are soooo short handed that people are quiting because they have to work more and more and more.
2017-07-25 06:28:53 PM knapier Okay Thank you so much!
2017-07-25 06:29:03 PM schiffal cyn, I understand but a resident can't take the place of staff for supervision purposes.

2017-07-25 06:29:06 PM schmidtk22 Nikiawhyche, are the pretty independant people where they can do bingo themselvse?

2017-07-25 06:33:45 PM schiffal kathy - does this class need to be completed prior to the NCCAP test or can we take that any time?
2017-07-25 06:33:49 PM kathyhughes NCCAP has a national exam that you will need to take
2017-07-25 06:33:58 PM cynkarnes76 definitely don't give up, just do the best you can and breathe
2017-07-25 06:33:59 PM schmidtk22 I feel like at the place I work people always say we're short-staffed.. so it makes it hard to take them on outings because we need an aide to go on any outing.
2017-07-25 06:33:59 PM slooney The follow up to "grateful" is What can we do make your life here better... we get thier answers and use them to develope ways to improve thier care
2017-07-25 06:34:05 PM schmidtk22 Trying to schedule that is hard.
2017-07-25 06:34:20 PM sandybenitez90 slooney sounds great!!!
2017-07-25 06:34:21 PM kathyhughes You have to complete MEPAP1 and MEPAP2 in order to take the NCCAP exam

2017-07-25 06:35:40 PM schmidtk22 cynkarenes...sometimes with my facility, before I take them to an activity they'll need oxygen and some of the aides especially always give me a hard time.. or it seems like they dont think that's important. or have "other" things to do.

2017-07-25 06:35:58 PM cynkarnes76 Kathy: do you expect the practicum advisor to review all written assignments too? That I cannot ask you about your comments in the grade section?
2017-07-25 06:36:01 PM nikiawyche cyn the fact that you are taking the class is a step in the right direction
2017-07-25 06:36:01 PM maria7293 KATTY IN MEPAP #1 I NEED TAKE NCCAP TEST OR NOT

2017-07-25 06:36:39 PM schiffal The NCCAP website doesn't show MEPAP 2 needed for track 1 if I'm reading it correctly.
2017-07-25 06:36:43 PM loree18 Kathy thanks
2017-07-25 06:36:44 PM slooney Sandy, it's been eye opening. We also provide the residents who don't come to the meeting with a copy of the minutes and ask them the same questions. We've learned so much about our elders!
2017-07-25 06:36:45 PM njackson17 I'm sure MEPAP2 is as hard as MEPAP1 or harder
2017-07-25 06:36:46 PM schmidtk22 OOOO a snowcone machine?? That would be amazing!

2017-07-25 06:37:49 PM knapier I know the struggle too! 50 hour work week 3 kids and school! Its alot but its well worth it. My state requires for me to be certified in order for me to be able to be an AD so this is a MUST DO!

2017-07-25 06:37:58 PM nikiawyche wow then I better hurry and sign up

2017-07-25 06:38:22 PM justinel Do we have a percentage of people who after all our schooling and take the NCCAP final final final final and fail? Can we take the test more than 1 time?
2017-07-25 06:38:23 PM kathyhughes All tracks ask for MEPAP2
