2017-10-24 05:06:24 PM peggysmith75 It will start to fill up pretty soon
2017-10-24 05:06:28 PM peggysmith75 hopefully Lol
2017-10-24 05:06:46 PM karencurtis oh, ok. how long does it last?
2017-10-24 05:07:02 PM peggysmith75 an hour
2017-10-24 05:07:20 PM karencurtis oh, i see. thanks for helping me out
2017-10-24 05:07:28 PM peggysmith75 No problem!
2017-10-24 05:07:37 PM peggysmith75 What week are you?
2017-10-24 05:08:16 PM karencurtis I'm getting ready to take my m'idterm and I'm currently working on my research paper
2017-10-24 05:08:53 PM peggysmith75 Nice. i just took my mid term not to long ago. Dont stress over it! And dont over think things. I did!
2017-10-24 05:09:32 PM karencurtis Any particular section to focus on studying more?
2017-10-24 05:12:57 PM shantas41 enter the chat room
2017-10-24 05:13:37 PM peggysmith75 I would focus on all of the basics. I was so worried that there was gonna be like trick questions and stuff that i read more into everything. know the dates of stuff.
2017-10-24 05:14:53 PM lynmyhre The exam is open book...open computer...it helps. Just do it at a comfortable time when you have good energy. I was tired and got a headache about halfway through...made clicking through different pages painful. But Peggsmith75 is absolutely right...don't stress.
2017-10-24 05:15:21 PM karencurtis I think it should go well. I'm waiting to hear back when I can take it. Did you have to wait long to hear back?
2017-10-24 05:15:54 PM karencurtis thanks for the advice!
2017-10-24 05:16:44 PM peggysmith75 no i was able to take mine right away. And I so understand your pain. Lynmyhre! I had a headache when I took mine came out of no where. Stress im sure! So I rushed thru mine. Even with open book. I did it in like 30 mins I just wanted to get it over with. DO NOT DO THAT!! Lol
2017-10-24 05:17:01 PM peggysmith75 I didnt get a bad grade but definately not the grade that I am use to
2017-10-24 05:18:01 PM lynmyhre I had state survey here and had worked long long days...we couldn't leave til the inspectors left and we had a managers meeting. UGH. I didn't ace it, but got an okay grade. Just looking to pass it.
2017-10-24 05:18:33 PM karencurtis anybody got any advice on section 5 those flashcards? Ive had to do over. I thought the first set i turned in were really good, but no go! lol
2017-10-24 05:19:06 PM peggysmith75 Yes thats how I felt. I just wanted to pass. I succeeded but will be sure to take my time next time. And OMG I am so tired of state! They have been and our facility almost weekly for the past 2 months.
2017-10-24 05:20:59 PM shantas41 left the chat room
2017-10-24 05:22:41 PM lynmyhre I found it was helpful to include a visual on the flash cards that can help those with dementia understand the ratings...and pictures for the item in question (ie: books and magazine images on a card about the importance of reading material; shower/tub/etc images on the bathing question...etc)
2017-10-24 05:26:45 PM peggysmith75 Shouldnt there be more people by now? Its not usually this quiet Lol

2017-10-24 05:37:26 PM karencurtis Kathy, do you suggest getting certified as a dementia practioner as well as ADC?
2017-10-24 05:37:37 PM lynmyhre I learned to drive the van (small bus van...) and it was scary. BIG WIDE BIG MIRRORS...but..it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. Just go with confidence.
2017-10-24 05:38:04 PM peggysmith75 Thanks Lyn. Im sure Im working myself up for nothing
2017-10-24 05:38:30 PM kathyhughes Sure it can help and you can always use it for your specialty track for MC (Memory Care)
2017-10-24 05:39:00 PM karencurtis What's my specialty track?
2017-10-24 05:39:44 PM kathyhughes NCCAp has Specialty tracks including Memory care, Adult Day care Services and others

2017-10-24 05:45:32 PM katieposey enter the chat room
2017-10-24 05:45:54 PM karencurtis Actually, I'm hoping my certification will help me secure an ADC position at my facility. My current manager is thinking of retiring fairly soon, and I'm hoping to get the position. Does I have an idea of what the hourly salary is for an ADC? I suppose it differs from statte to state. btw i signed on at 7:00 and im eastern time? was that right?
