2019-04-16 06:49:40 PM kathyhughes and before Pinterest we had to have magazines, we went to craft shows, we exchanged ideas and we had to be resourceful
2019-04-16 06:49:59 PM 11038797 kathy do you currently work in a facility
2019-04-16 06:50:00 PM vgrenier2019 i have some residents who love crafts but cant attend we give them supplies and instructions

2019-04-16 06:50:39 PM kathyhughes I started in 1974 as a volunteer
2019-04-16 06:50:42 PM tracyanderson because we are "independent' there is no build in time for 1:1 but I thought that introverts who don't come to crafts may enjoy it
2019-04-16 06:50:46 PM brydentammyyahoocom wow
2019-04-16 06:50:46 PM kathyhughes in a nursing home

2019-04-18 06:06:06 PM kristenamrein For the class, it's online, but for the certification it's in person, I think
2019-04-18 06:06:17 PM dreamad enter the chat room
2019-04-18 06:06:19 PM kathyhughes For this course it is online and for the NCCAP exam you have to go to a site
2019-04-18 06:06:38 PM dreamad hi
2019-04-18 06:06:57 PM kathyhughes You take a mid term exam for week 8 and a final exam for week 15

2019-04-18 06:09:34 PM kathyhughes If you spend so much time worried about the NCCAP exam you will cause all sorts of unnecessary stress
2019-04-18 06:09:51 PM kathyhughes Yes you will get a study guide from NCCAP
2019-04-18 06:09:55 PM hmorris ok

2019-04-18 06:10:50 PM hmorris ok
2019-04-18 06:11:04 PM kristenamrein I'm not the best test taker. I know all the questions are multiple choice (thank goodness), but are we allowed to skip questions and come back later or do we have to answer them right when they come up?

2019-04-18 06:13:47 PM kristenamrein Can you do it over several days, or do you have to do it all in one day?
2019-04-18 06:13:51 PM kathyhughes Well it is half of the hours that you need
2019-04-18 06:13:56 PM labara that is true
2019-04-18 06:14:02 PM kathyhughes You can take it as long as you need to

2019-04-18 06:14:46 PM labara for our transcripts from high school and colege, should we get them sent to us? or right to NCCAP>
2019-04-18 06:15:20 PM kathyhughes All of the NCCAP approved courses are available on ADN...you can see them all on the sign in page for activitydirector.org
2019-04-18 06:15:35 PM kathyhughes You have them sent to you
2019-04-18 06:15:50 PM kathyhughes Do not send them to NCCAP they loose papers and letters

2019-04-18 06:17:29 PM kathyhughes You will need to have the certificates of attendance at your continuing education courses
2019-04-18 06:17:41 PM kristenamrein If we wen't to college and got a degree, can we just scan a copy of the degree rather than getting the transcripts?
2019-04-18 06:17:47 PM kristenamrein *went*
2019-04-18 06:18:09 PM kathyhughes No they need the transcripts..so you will scan them as well
2019-04-18 06:18:33 PM kathyhughes Because they require that you get a C or better from the courses
2019-04-18 06:19:33 PM kathyhughes So what are you doing to celebrate National Nurses week????
2019-04-18 06:19:41 PM kristenamrein No idea

2019-04-18 06:20:00 PM kristenamrein When is it?
2019-04-18 06:20:16 PM virginiamooney Not sure.
2019-04-18 06:20:25 PM ashia Each department is in charge of an activity & we are doing theme days
2019-04-18 06:20:32 PM dreamad not sure
2019-04-18 06:20:46 PM kristenamrein It's coming up soon, I know that. My mom works in a hospital (not as a nurse)
2019-04-18 06:21:29 PM deirdre1 We are haveing a program to celebratr our nurse
2019-04-18 06:21:39 PM deirdre1 celebrate
2019-04-18 06:21:40 PM kathyhughes May 6-12
2019-04-18 06:22:01 PM kathyhughes Boy they do not make it easy to find that out!!
2019-04-18 06:22:06 PM kristenamrein And then Nursing Home Week is the 12th-18th?
2019-04-18 06:22:15 PM kathyhughes Yes it is
2019-04-18 06:22:37 PM kathyhughes And do you know why we are in charge of planning these events????
2019-04-18 06:22:46 PM kristenamrein No, I was just wondering that!
2019-04-18 06:22:52 PM deirdre1 We are
2019-04-18 06:23:03 PM kathyhughes Because we are the only department that has the skill to plan events....
2019-04-18 06:23:17 PM deirdre1 true
2019-04-18 06:23:33 PM kathyhughes No other department knows how to plan an event!
2019-04-18 06:23:45 PM dreamad true
2019-04-18 06:23:50 PM hmorris true
2019-04-18 06:23:54 PM virginiamooney true
2019-04-18 06:23:54 PM kathyhughes So that is why we are in charge of all the celebrations
2019-04-18 06:25:00 PM kathyhughes but when I was asked to plan something I would also state that I would be glad to do that if the ADM also recognized the Dietary dept as they had to not only cook regualar meals but cook extra for the staff
2019-04-18 06:25:00 PM deirdre1 Kathy I know I keep asking you this question, lol...are we celebrating Soulful Living on that week as well< With 3 different activities everyday connected to the theme?
2019-04-18 06:25:02 PM ashia For Nursing Home Wk. I assigned each department a day to do an activity with the residents
2019-04-18 06:25:29 PM labara left the chat room
2019-04-18 06:25:42 PM kathyhughes Deidre you can do anything that you want...I would have done one program a day
2019-04-18 06:25:56 PM mandy lol i was having to scan through to follow. we are doing a casino event for our nurses
2019-04-18 06:26:08 PM deirdre1 ok
2019-04-18 06:26:26 PM kathyhughes Of course I would have planned the Bingo Marathon with each dept taking an hour and they had to provide a snack and prizes
2019-04-18 06:26:52 PM kathyhughes On that Wednesday and I would have invited local celebrities in as well
2019-04-18 06:27:00 PM dreamad good ideas
2019-04-18 06:27:40 PM ashia I wanted to hire an Elvis impersonator but the least he would take was $200
2019-04-18 06:27:48 PM mandy I like the marathon idea as a fundraiser
2019-04-18 06:28:04 PM kathyhughes Well I would look for alternative entertainment
2019-04-18 06:28:25 PM deirdre1 Yes we have a guy also who impersonate Elvis ..he charges 100
2019-04-18 06:28:38 PM kathyhughes We had very little entertainment...once a month for our evening party and that was that
2019-04-18 06:29:01 PM mandy Entertainment prices keep goin up around here. It used to be $50 for most singers etc but now bands quote me $1500
2019-04-18 06:29:21 PM ashia Nursing and the Executive Director are going to do Karoake/Lip Sync instead
2019-04-18 06:29:22 PM kristenamrein We have 2 gentlemen that come in twice a week each, our folks love them! They look forward to those entertainers every week!
2019-04-18 06:29:56 PM mandy I have to repeat myself that we are a nonprofit nursing home and then tell them that we would love to have them but its not in the budget
