2019-01-17 07:25:32 PM alejandra95 yeah because they forget what they learned
2019-01-17 07:25:35 PM dianea1781 i need to start working on more ce's
2019-01-17 07:25:54 PM dianea1781 best to do it when its fresh in your brain
2019-01-17 07:25:54 PM kathyhughes Some people waited 6 years!
2019-01-17 07:25:57 PM diannekilroy keep studying still
2019-01-17 07:25:58 PM awalden It makes sense to do it while its fresh. I am in the same boat dinea1781! I am ready to start looking tonight!
2019-01-17 07:26:04 PM kathyhughes You should take it as soon as you can
2019-01-17 07:26:20 PM diannekilroy not good take it while it is all fresh
2019-01-17 07:26:23 PM alejandra95 good advise....
2019-01-17 07:26:39 PM diannekilroy yep.
2019-01-17 07:26:43 PM cantrellyard Someone else told me the same thing
2019-01-17 07:26:43 PM kathyhughes Yes do not wait
2019-01-17 07:26:43 PM scoltey So on my first chat I was told we didn't need to keep track of the time we spend on assignents and stuff. Is that correct?
2019-01-17 07:26:47 PM alejandra95 we need to have all the requirements from them to take the test
2019-01-17 07:26:51 PM cantrellyard take it early
2019-01-17 07:26:52 PM salinass i took the first part 2 years ago, couldnt help it, life happened. but i will take the national exa, as soon as i am done.
2019-01-17 07:26:53 PM mblackstone10 very motivating
2019-01-17 07:27:12 PM diannekilroy right
2019-01-17 07:27:15 PM salinass with this course
2019-01-17 07:27:17 PM kathyhughes that is correct, however you have to fill in times for the Practicum
2019-01-17 07:27:31 PM kathyhughes that is a "new" NCCAP requirement
2019-01-17 07:27:33 PM rmcrow only Practicum?
2019-01-17 07:27:39 PM kathyhughes Yes
2019-01-17 07:27:43 PM scoltey ph I didn't see that and I have completed many parts of it already
2019-01-17 07:27:54 PM rmcrow And that should total ...
2019-01-17 07:27:56 PM kathyhughes Then do not worry about it
2019-01-17 07:28:08 PM kathyhughes 90 hours for the entire Practicum
2019-01-17 07:28:13 PM mblackstone10 I didn't see times either. Maybe I'm missing something
2019-01-17 07:28:19 PM rmcrow i thought so - just checking! thx

2019-01-17 07:31:54 PM kristenamrein I've never been to a Toastmaster's meething before so I don't know what to expect.

2019-01-17 07:36:23 PM cawhitaker we do something themed with different activities daily the entire week. Last year we went back to High school and had classes, a prom, senir picturers
2019-01-17 07:36:26 PM cantrellyard We go out to eat and get to order from positive promotions like a bag or t-shirt or something

2019-01-17 07:37:52 PM kristenamrein Question about the midterm: does the Team Building assignment have to be just the Activities Department or not? I'm working on 2 ideas now and I'm not sure one would qualify, as it includes other departments.
2019-01-17 07:37:56 PM calixc3 bring the donkey and get 10 bonus points
2019-01-17 07:37:57 PM kathyhughes Sounds like fun Nathan

2019-01-17 07:41:03 PM mblackstone10 was there a lot of turn over during these change periods?
2019-01-17 07:41:05 PM kathyhughes I figured once they found my office they were on limited time
2019-01-17 07:41:10 PM awalden wow
2019-01-17 07:41:12 PM awalden haha!

2019-01-17 07:41:25 PM alejandra95 is bad because you start all over again trying to know them
2019-01-17 07:41:26 PM salinass lol
2019-01-17 07:41:45 PM kathyhughes NO...they all thought it was change but it was something we had done 5 years before and it was now presented as "new"
2019-01-17 07:41:51 PM rmcrow @ cantrellyard us too! I'm not stressed though
2019-01-17 07:41:56 PM kathyhughes which is why I kept all forms
2019-01-17 07:42:07 PM scoltey aiming at a moving target. not a fan. lol Just as you learn what one wants the next comes in and thinks it's all wrong.
2019-01-17 07:42:14 PM kathyhughes all old forms were new again!
2019-01-17 07:42:21 PM salinass lol

2019-01-17 07:42:53 PM scoltey Kathy isn't it comical when they come and want to tell you about change? In my head I'm like you have no idea. We are all pretty good at it by now.

2019-01-17 07:43:19 PM alejandra95 once they stay is all good but if they keep changing is bad

2019-01-17 07:46:36 PM alejandra95 yes thats right
2019-01-17 07:46:45 PM scoltey The place I left is in terribe shape. It's a 100 bed facility and they decided to downsize the activities department to just the director. I don't know how she will do it until she gets out.

2019-01-17 07:47:35 PM kathyhughes When I set yearly goals for the department I included everyone in the department
2019-01-17 07:47:36 PM dianea1781 some uper management dont realize how importasnt activities is to a community
2019-01-17 07:47:41 PM diannekilroy thats right my friends
2019-01-17 07:47:41 PM scoltey I really wish surveys did things to provide better care, not take away from it. That's on my wish list
2019-01-17 07:47:43 PM rmcrow AGREED salinass
2019-01-17 07:47:51 PM mblackstone10 i included everyuone too

2019-01-17 07:48:53 PM cantrellyard to survey everything has to look good on paper it doesn't always work that way
2019-01-17 07:48:54 PM mblackstone10 We did those too :(
2019-01-17 07:48:56 PM mblackstone10 it
2019-01-17 07:48:58 PM mblackstone10 it
2019-01-17 07:49:06 PM mblackstone10 its not clicking** for one member
2019-01-17 07:49:11 PM alejandra95 i always ask my residents for suggestions sometimes they come up with good ideas for the activites
2019-01-17 07:49:29 PM calixc3 I submitted a request for three additional employees for the department earlier this month. the Owner wants to have a meeting about these postions next week. He even said to put up an ad! so please keep me in your thoughts!
2019-01-17 07:49:35 PM dianea1781 i hold a meeting once a month to get new ideas from my residents
2019-01-17 07:49:37 PM kathyhughes There is always that one person..and you need not dwell on the one person

2019-01-17 07:50:06 PM salinass we have a club that meets every month.
2019-01-17 07:50:10 PM kathyhughes If we look at the person who is not getting it then we miss the good things that the others are doing
2019-01-17 07:50:23 PM diannekilroy thats right
2019-01-17 07:50:25 PM calixc3 i have the department meetings be the second interview for any staff that i am looking to hire.
2019-01-17 07:50:29 PM salinass oh kathy, you are so right with that
2019-01-17 07:50:31 PM kathyhughes Good Luck Nathan...let me know!
2019-01-17 07:50:33 PM alejandra95 so true
2019-01-17 07:50:52 PM kathyhughes I also had two residents interview them
2019-01-17 07:50:53 PM scoltey I always like to find what my staff is doing right, I'm going to start being more verbal about that to others as well as the one that did great,
2019-01-17 07:51:08 PM calixc3 thats a great idea!
2019-01-17 07:51:11 PM alejandra95 haha those are good residents
