2018-11-08 07:22:05 PM wanzaella yes
2018-11-08 07:22:06 PM diannekilroy O good
2018-11-08 07:22:11 PM donnalova2 watch out who you take your continuing ediucation with NCCAP only gave me 8 credits for 70 hours that I took at work. I have to take the rest from a certified CE instructor that they told me about.
2018-11-08 07:22:17 PM arutgers78 so today was interesting day
2018-11-08 07:22:27 PM kathyhughes If you are applying for ADC you will need 30 clock hours of continuing education
2018-11-08 07:22:36 PM arutgers78 I work at skilled nursing home but is short term
2018-11-08 07:22:55 PM arutgers78 and in another building they have full book survey
2018-11-08 07:23:08 PM arutgers78 they fired the activity director and then send me over there
2018-11-08 07:23:13 PM diannekilroy I have money on a account with this program.from my scholorship
2018-11-08 07:23:18 PM arutgers78 omg ... anyway
2018-11-08 07:23:21 PM kathyhughes Well Donna you can take the courses that ADN ...who did they recommend?
2018-11-08 07:23:23 PM donnalova2 Yes have completed my 30 hours
2018-11-08 07:23:37 PM arutgers78 i hope we don't have a tag
2018-11-08 07:23:43 PM lurban1 Ok so 30 hours continueing ed after we finish these classes?
2018-11-08 07:23:45 PM donnalova2 Collins learning
2018-11-08 07:23:51 PM amaliaagallas we have CEUs through the Relias program at my work we get like 2 every month
2018-11-08 07:23:55 PM cantrellyard after getting certified do you still need contiuned education to keep the certification
2018-11-08 07:24:10 PM kathyhughes So your can use 6 clock hours of mandatory inservices at your facility
2018-11-08 07:24:19 PM diannekilroy I go to ceu now with my AD
2018-11-08 07:24:35 PM wanzaella what about the basic
2018-11-08 07:24:43 PM kathyhughes You can use Relias for 8 clock hours ....but you can use the Relias hours if they are NCCAP approved
2018-11-08 07:24:55 PM donnalova2 My classses were with Relias and they only gave me 8 credit hours for 70 hours- Relias is not a NCCAP approved CE
2018-11-08 07:25:11 PM kathyhughes the MEPAP1 counts as the MEPAP1 and not as continung education
2018-11-08 07:25:20 PM lisaad donna NCCAP told me Relias counts for CE
2018-11-08 07:25:30 PM kathyhughes then you can only use 8 clock hours of Relias
2018-11-08 07:25:43 PM donnalova2 Nope. Only a percentage. Call and ask.
2018-11-08 07:25:54 PM lurban1 Ok so when do we have to strt continueing ed after we finsh part 1 and 2?
2018-11-08 07:26:00 PM arutgers78 I am ok with my experience , I Have 14.000 hours.
2018-11-08 07:26:04 PM donnalova2 Yes only 8 hours- no matter how many hours you take.
2018-11-08 07:26:07 PM kathyhughes or anyother online company your facility might have and it is in the NCCAP Standards packet
2018-11-08 07:27:14 PM donnalova2 I thought I was all done for my provisional ceritfication when they told me I needed the additional hours because they only accepted the 8.
2018-11-08 07:27:17 PM dianea1781 do the ce hours need to be within the past year?
2018-11-08 07:27:22 PM kathyhughes Your continuing education for your initial certification can be within the past 5 years...so you can count your continuing ed from the last 5 years providing that they topic falls within the NCCAP Body of Knowledge
2018-11-08 07:27:38 PM kathyhughes For you initial certification it would be the past 5 years
2018-11-08 07:27:44 PM dmartin I would like to become certified for denentia training within our facility to educate others

2018-11-08 07:27:57 PM kirstensch7 CPR counts too, right?
2018-11-08 07:27:59 PM kathyhughes You can use that for your continuing education
2018-11-08 07:28:04 PM arutgers78 That is so cool Dmartin
2018-11-08 07:28:13 PM cantrellyard We have Healthcare academy is can count for so many hours not sure how many

2018-11-08 07:29:17 PM kathyhughes You will need 30 clock hours for your initial certification
2018-11-08 07:29:17 PM donnalova2 Didn't know that CPR counts- that's go to know.
