2019-01-29 07:17:52 PM azhia1 thats a great idea
2019-01-29 07:17:57 PM mecaylaholmquist Question: Is it rude to say no to going to a doctor's appt with a residnet when you have a scheduled activity?
2019-01-29 07:17:58 PM ashleymp that's awesome, thanks!
2019-01-29 07:17:58 PM michaelrepinski25 when the car show comes to town we call some of the cars groups and they visit the facility the men love it.
2019-01-29 07:18:04 PM foram23 thats great idea

2019-01-29 07:18:13 PM kathyhughes No it is not rude

2019-01-29 07:18:29 PM juarezamber oooo a car show would be so awesome!
2019-01-29 07:18:34 PM kathyhughes You can get a deficiency for not having the activity
2019-01-29 07:18:39 PM ashleymp Activity Director isn't responsible, and the rest of the residents suffer
2019-01-29 07:18:39 PM tonjarobles we are the transportations back up
2019-01-29 07:18:48 PM ashleymp we should not be
2019-01-29 07:19:02 PM wandaliznatal hi ladie
2019-01-29 07:19:12 PM kathyhughes Who backs up activities then?
2019-01-29 07:19:13 PM arthurashley we should do activities
2019-01-29 07:19:19 PM ashleymp it has become a default for many facilities but i have been putting my foot down
2019-01-29 07:19:23 PM cynthiacharlton exactly!
2019-01-29 07:19:29 PM tonjarobles no one. it is a huge problem
2019-01-29 07:19:34 PM ashleymp .
2019-01-29 07:19:45 PM mecaylaholmquist Thank you Kathy. My administer said that it was rude becuase he has done it and that staff will help push to activities. There would be only one activity aide when you actually need to.
2019-01-29 07:19:48 PM tonjarobles and no support for administrator
2019-01-29 07:19:52 PM trinawh i had to go to corporate one day last week. i had to find people to cover my activities.
2019-01-29 07:19:54 PM hjrhiel I am I talking to myself thats how I feel in this group not sure I like this chat group
2019-01-29 07:20:03 PM ashleymp if it is on the calendar the residents look forward to it and are let down when it does not take place
2019-01-29 07:20:07 PM trinawh it's not rude at all
2019-01-29 07:20:21 PM ashleymp and we are required to provide a number of hours per week
2019-01-29 07:20:34 PM arthurashley I don't think it's rude I feel like that responsibility should then go to the DON?
2019-01-29 07:20:36 PM clcroom We have our residents lead as often as possible. Some have led Bingo, and others have done Movie Matinee and one is in charge of our Art Club that is after dinner.
2019-01-29 07:20:44 PM trinawh i understand hjrhiel. so many conversations at once. you have to just jump in
2019-01-29 07:20:48 PM kathyhughes Heather what can we do for you....we will be happy to address your questions
2019-01-29 07:20:59 PM cynthiacharlton Whenever our bus driver for doctor appointments is not at work Im usually the first one they want to get to drive the residents to appointments. it doesnt make sence to do for a few and let the majority left hanging.
2019-01-29 07:21:22 PM hjrhiel you dont have assistants to help out when you have meetings or things to do
2019-01-29 07:21:22 PM kathyhughes We will be happy to assist you with your questions
2019-01-29 07:21:24 PM alexisl see we have back up drivers
2019-01-29 07:21:31 PM alexisl this is crazy
2019-01-29 07:21:36 PM mecaylaholmquist *two* I was thinking just to eep saying no because sometimes they have to be admitted to the hospital. I once had to help a DOCTOR put a resident into a bed from wheelchair. That wouold have been bad if the resident landed on the floor
2019-01-29 07:21:52 PM arthurashley our facility you have to be 25 to drive the bus for insurance purposes and I am only 24; so I always have to find someone to drive to our outings.
2019-01-29 07:21:53 PM tonjarobles the back up driver is us :(
2019-01-29 07:22:06 PM kathyhughes Heather...we would like to help you
2019-01-29 07:22:15 PM clcroom Is anyone besides myself a CNA?
2019-01-29 07:22:23 PM hjrhiel Its ok I am used to being on the back burner and being lost

2019-01-29 07:22:31 PM arthurashley That is so bizarre.... We should run activities and that is it. I feel like they are wrong for asking you to do it.
2019-01-29 07:22:50 PM wandaliznatal yes I am a cna and med tech
2019-01-29 07:22:58 PM hjrhiel No I have my CNA and diatary as well as activitys

2019-01-29 07:24:10 PM christinag I was getting asked to go to the floor every night for dinner until one night our ED asked me why I wasn't doing the scheduled dining program. I told her and she spoke to the staff about it
2019-01-29 07:24:11 PM mecaylaholmquist I've also helped the kitchen serve breakfast on our lower floor, otherwise im just an activities aide until I get a certificate
2019-01-29 07:24:15 PM wandaliznatal kathy how long take to see your grade in the page
2019-01-29 07:24:17 PM 12716937 I am also a CNA and my assistant is too and we get pulled to the floor a lot....fortunatley one of us can stay in activities
2019-01-29 07:24:18 PM michaelrepinski25 ive been pulled a cuple times
2019-01-29 07:24:27 PM hjrhiel its ok bad day or just another rough day I will figure it out I got this Thank you
2019-01-29 07:24:29 PM kathyhughes Depends on which class you are in

2019-01-29 07:25:01 PM christinag Kathy you left a comment on my assignment on the 17. I sent you an email back about it, but I'm not sure if you've seen it.

2019-01-29 07:26:42 PM ashleymp I can't get over 35 hours:|
2019-01-29 07:26:47 PM kathyhughes It should not be normal to work 12 hours a day
2019-01-29 07:26:47 PM arthurashley That is so sad

2019-01-29 07:27:22 PM ashleymp yea thats more for care staff in some facilities
2019-01-29 07:27:23 PM tonjarobles good idea trina
2019-01-29 07:27:25 PM kathyhughes If you are working 60 hours a week you are then making minimum wage

2019-01-29 07:27:40 PM mecaylaholmquist I got told today that we should give snacks to residents because it is our job, the only time we serve a snack is after the afternoon activity and that the residnets stay for the whole activity. Is it rude to deny a snack to a resident because the staff memeber put them there because they think it is out job
2019-01-29 07:27:41 PM kathyhughes yes
2019-01-29 07:27:42 PM clcroom I'm scheduled fdor 40, but I work more when possible.

2019-01-29 07:29:26 PM kathyhughes If you make $18.00 an hour....work 60 hours a week (for which you are paid to work 40 hours a week) then you are actually making $12.00 an hour
2019-01-29 07:29:27 PM lmiller3 11 an hour? The assistant role we hiring for makes more than that.
2019-01-29 07:29:27 PM alexisl sorry fluids

2019-01-29 07:31:38 PM mecaylaholmquist I'm already not getting paid for what I do, so what will the pay increase actually get me. Does anyone else feel like management looks down on you because they don't understand what activities does for the facility?

2019-01-29 07:33:02 PM lmiller3 it depends on if you are Certified.
2019-01-29 07:33:13 PM arthurashley what should you ge paid once you are certified?
2019-01-29 07:33:18 PM kathyhughes It depends on the number of residents that you have, when the facility started business, your RUG score the number of staff that you have
2019-01-29 07:33:23 PM ashleymp education is a factor and experience
2019-01-29 07:33:23 PM cynthiacharlton how do they get away not allowing us to get OT when they know it takes more time then the day allows us. On top of it they give us other duties, like being in the dinning room for an hour and a morning meeting that take at least 30 minutes, that give us only 6.5 hours a day to do the activities, plan and work on our calendars, newsletter and other things we have to do daily, weekly and monthly.
2019-01-29 07:33:23 PM mylyn23 bronx, ny but i dont get paid that yet coz im still taking the course

2019-01-29 07:34:39 PM ndindaspada My BA in Pscychology doesnt matter here. Even my CDP and case management degrees
2019-01-29 07:34:44 PM 12716937 It does have a difference on location. If I worked an hour south from where I live, I would make $4 more an hour
