2019-03-12 06:01:14 PM liliana enter the chat room
2019-03-12 06:01:18 PM amyc84 I just need more hours in my day
2019-03-12 06:01:19 PM christinag I had trouble this week. I think that paper took more than I expected it would. Part of me is glad I picked that topic, but it definitely made me confront some issues.
2019-03-12 06:01:29 PM kathyhughes Take one step at a time, write a to do list every Tuesday
2019-03-12 06:01:34 PM amyc84 and my weekends consist of homework because I work such long hours right now
2019-03-12 06:01:35 PM kaylenbaringer I was told that the facility does not require MEPAP2 therefore she does not support me taking it
2019-03-12 06:01:40 PM marinlott definitely, more hours would help!
2019-03-12 06:01:41 PM rgierhart I was working on my class work during our entertainer today - I was singing along to polka music while filling out forms
2019-03-12 06:01:41 PM saraj6090 Im so short staffed right now, I am having a really hard time keeping upl
2019-03-12 06:01:43 PM biancosherri I love this class but sometimes it seems I cant get it all done with working. Anyone else feel a little overwhelmed?
2019-03-12 06:01:44 PM liliana hello everyone
2019-03-12 06:01:45 PM briscoem Good Evening Everyone!
2019-03-12 06:01:56 PM kathyhughes Well does she want you to be certified?
2019-03-12 06:01:57 PM iarygarcia that's a great idea. I'm always writing "to do" lists
2019-03-12 06:01:57 PM clcroom enter the chat room
2019-03-12 06:02:02 PM christinag Definitely feeling overwhelmed here lately
2019-03-12 06:02:04 PM rrobinson yeah, that to do list just gets longer lol
2019-03-12 06:02:05 PM marinlott thats too bad they dont support you. The mepap2 looks really interesting and helpful for managers
2019-03-12 06:02:07 PM clcroom Hello, all
2019-03-12 06:02:11 PM chastitymurphy Thats when i do my homework, on the weekends.
2019-03-12 06:02:12 PM iarygarcia lol
2019-03-12 06:02:16 PM kaylenbaringer I dont think she does kathy..... she probably thinks i would ask for more money
2019-03-12 06:02:16 PM sarahgremminger Thats exactly what I do. A to do list is my fave tool
2019-03-12 06:02:16 PM donna61 Amy it can get tough I know its taken me a long time to balance the 2
2019-03-12 06:02:20 PM christinag I can handle the class and working, but my house seems to be falling apart
2019-03-12 06:02:21 PM danielle enter the chat room
2019-03-12 06:02:22 PM catherinemello it is hard to keep up with, i worked 46 hours last week, im on my 9th day in a row of work....

2019-03-12 06:02:28 PM khostetler Hello All
2019-03-12 06:02:31 PM arthurashley I definitely messed up our 10 page paper we were suppose to complete. I thought you just wanted facts from the internet and things like that. I dont want you to think I plagarized or anything I think i just did not understand the assignment :/
2019-03-12 06:02:39 PM iarygarcia me too. weekends are the only time I have to do the work.
2019-03-12 06:02:49 PM kathyhughes And remember it will be your certification and even though the ADM is not supportive you should do it for you
2019-03-12 06:02:50 PM amyc84 what 10 page assignment?
2019-03-12 06:02:50 PM johannamccargish I am definately overwhelmed.

2019-03-12 06:03:28 PM kathyhughes and it is a research paper and you have 2 weeks to do it
2019-03-12 06:03:28 PM dmitry23 Yes, time for homework is hard to find. Therefore, the weekend is the way out.
2019-03-12 06:03:32 PM marinlott good point kathy. we never know if regs will change and the certification is necessary in your state.
2019-03-12 06:03:45 PM iarygarcia oh, ok. that's good.
2019-03-12 06:03:48 PM amyc84 for this week?
2019-03-12 06:03:50 PM arthurashley Im not sure I understand Kathy
2019-03-12 06:03:50 PM kaylenbaringer i would like to become certified I think that my residents would benifit from it and the facility would as well I just wish I had more support and im not sure about who to go for another practicum supervisor for the second mepap... but everything will work itself out
2019-03-12 06:03:52 PM biancosherri Good to know I am not the only one so girls one day at a time and we got this!

2019-03-12 06:11:18 PM rgierhart Thats so fun! we had an accordion player come in today. he played polka music and irish jigs

2019-03-12 06:12:15 PM biancosherri Amy do you have a hospice department in your facility? They should give you guidance and help
2019-03-12 06:12:15 PM iarygarcia that's a cool idea!
2019-03-12 06:12:16 PM catherinemello left the chat room
2019-03-12 06:12:17 PM clcroom Why polka?
2019-03-12 06:12:18 PM chastitymurphy i'm trying to work with hospice on a memorial service as well
2019-03-12 06:12:19 PM christinag I would like to do a memorial service. Admin is very against the idea though
2019-03-12 06:12:23 PM kathyhughes If you have not completed the course or let me know that you have completed the final exam then you need to do that
2019-03-12 06:12:25 PM catherinemello enter the chat room
2019-03-12 06:12:32 PM iarygarcia egg decorating while they wait to eat will be fun!
2019-03-12 06:12:34 PM rwilson because polka is awesome
2019-03-12 06:12:37 PM arthurashley We are having a memorial service next thursday!
2019-03-12 06:12:42 PM amyc84 no we dont
2019-03-12 06:12:45 PM juarezamber After the MEPAP 2 is complet what more needs to be done? i feel confused after that iv read over it 1000 times... maybe im over reading
2019-03-12 06:12:49 PM rrobinson that surprises me, my admin and i are planning a memorial service to honor the many we've recently lost
2019-03-12 06:12:52 PM carollucksinger I got my first view of State coming in the last 2 days, talk about a blast!!
2019-03-12 06:12:53 PM kaylenbaringer someone on the chat a few weeks ago talked about using butterflys for a memorial service and i loved that idea
2019-03-12 06:12:54 PM liliana we always decorate esater eggs in our facility
2019-03-12 06:12:54 PM danielle We have Elvis in the house on March 31

2019-03-12 06:12:57 PM yemartinez I thought about the egg decorating
2019-03-12 06:13:03 PM rgierhart hahaha polka is amazing, i wish i could play accordion
2019-03-12 06:13:08 PM marinlott word! one of my best times was when a resident taught me how to polka cause his wife couldnt dance with him anymore
2019-03-12 06:13:10 PM dmitry23 How about a spring concert flowers on the tables , song , dancing and video.
2019-03-12 06:13:12 PM johannamccargish good luck Sami
2019-03-12 06:13:13 PM yemartinez I think it would be fun for them
2019-03-12 06:13:18 PM kimranck I witnessed something amazing last week during karaoke. One of our residents who is unable to communicate wanted to sing. We gave her the microphone but we were not able to understand her, she has her own vocabulary. When the music started she sang every song word for word. It is amazing the power of music.

2019-03-12 06:13:27 PM angelaawaters I have done egg decorating, it is a blast. I get stickers to make a little easier for residents who are not that creative. I was one of them! LOL
2019-03-12 06:13:39 PM biancosherri Does the company have any info for you to follow from before?
2019-03-12 06:13:42 PM arthurashley Music is good for the soul
2019-03-12 06:13:46 PM iarygarcia i started a newsletter and include the memorial service info. then we send it out to all our families for anyone who wishes to attend.
2019-03-12 06:13:54 PM marinlott sometimes do a memorial gathering where everyone shares memories, a nice poem or prayer if you dont have the structure and support you need still provides comfort to family and residents
2019-03-12 06:13:57 PM rwilson we will be dying the eggs a couple of days before as an activity. then at the dinner they can add stickers and whatnot...less mess
2019-03-12 06:13:57 PM clcroom My residents love to color eggs. the kitchen hates to hard boil them, though. lol
2019-03-12 06:13:58 PM iarygarcia cool kim! that's pretty amazing!
2019-03-12 06:14:02 PM marinlott nice garcia
2019-03-12 06:14:08 PM kathyhughes Juarez...once you complete the MEPAP2 you can then apply for NCCAP certification. Do not worry I cover certification once a month in the MEPAP2 chat
2019-03-12 06:14:09 PM johannamccargish A Memorial Service is a really good idea.
2019-03-12 06:14:10 PM briscoem We have several fun things happening in April. Im really excited about our 1st Annaul Walkathon on National Walking Day.
2019-03-12 06:14:11 PM kaylenbaringer i can never get families to come to anything
2019-03-12 06:14:14 PM angelaawaters Music is great for all residents
2019-03-12 06:14:14 PM kathyhughes I am covering it this week
2019-03-12 06:14:18 PM catherinemello what a great story Kim
2019-03-12 06:14:18 PM danielle wow kim that is awesome. I love it when our residents are total dependent and they start to move their feet or head during music
2019-03-12 06:14:28 PM iarygarcia good idea about the eggs... was wondering how you were going to do that... lol
