2019-04-18 06:31:39 PM kristenamrein We are fortunate to have a very robust entertainment program with entertainers who love coming to us, even though our budget is limited. We can easily get entertainment a few days a week!
2019-04-18 06:31:39 PM mandy I alternate between them
2019-04-18 06:31:39 PM deirdre1 If I could sing I would save alot of money! Lol

2019-04-18 06:32:36 PM ashia I have a question for everyone, how is your budget run? I have to spend my own money & wait to be reimbursed-Now they are saying that I can only be reimbursed $100 cash per month
2019-04-18 06:32:37 PM mandy We have lots of other entertainment but I am not musically talented and the live music just seems to really benefit my dementia residents
2019-04-18 06:32:52 PM deirdre1 No!
2019-04-18 06:32:55 PM ibravo0788 o wow no i dont htink so

2019-04-18 06:33:12 PM kathyhughes I would not spend my own money
2019-04-18 06:33:29 PM kathyhughes does nursing spend their own money for their supplies?
2019-04-18 06:33:30 PM hmorris ashia that not right

2019-04-18 06:33:44 PM ashia no
2019-04-18 06:33:46 PM hmorris don't do it
2019-04-18 06:33:46 PM deirdre1 They give us a Petty Cash Check eash month
2019-04-18 06:33:48 PM kristenamrein I do, but I make sure I get reimbursed for it.
2019-04-18 06:33:48 PM kathyhughes I used the resident council funds
2019-04-18 06:33:50 PM mandy I play hymns in the morning before devotion from my phone to a blue tooth speaker. It often starts a sing a long. I never would have guesssed how much they would love a few minutes of hymns
2019-04-18 06:33:52 PM ibravo0788 we reach out to our medicare agent and hospice to sponcer us
2019-04-18 06:33:55 PM dreamad i run store to provide budget

2019-04-18 06:34:47 PM ibravo0788 we have 2 hospice agencys they are running two programs of my week
2019-04-18 06:34:54 PM kathyhughes If you do spend your own money then use it as a tax write off
2019-04-18 06:34:58 PM mandy We do fuundraisers and dontations of prizes etc. I do have to use my credit card for funding big things and get paid back
2019-04-18 06:35:05 PM kathyhughes and never take residents in you own car
2019-04-18 06:35:16 PM ashia I try to stretch budget by shopping at dollar tree & now they want me to order from places we have accounts but they are way to expensive
2019-04-18 06:35:18 PM deirdre1 No Never!
2019-04-18 06:35:32 PM kristenamrein I don't, we have busses for that.
2019-04-18 06:35:48 PM kathyhughes I would show them that you can order online for Dollar Tree
2019-04-18 06:36:16 PM kathyhughes also I would show them in a spreadsheet how much you save shopping at Dollar Tree
2019-04-18 06:36:32 PM ibravo0788 i reuse alot of deccorations buy at end of holiday sale
2019-04-18 06:36:34 PM deirdre1 I go to Dollar Tree, Goodwill, anywhere where the price is right
2019-04-18 06:36:51 PM kristenamrein Dollar Tree is my best friend now! I even get our Cat Treats there!
2019-04-18 06:36:53 PM kathyhughes If they want to order from other places then ask for an increase in your budget
2019-04-18 06:37:00 PM deirdre1 We also receive alot of donations
2019-04-18 06:37:05 PM ashia or they want me to do expense reports then i have to wait for a check from the company it takes 2wks
2019-04-18 06:37:42 PM dreamad will not use my money
2019-04-18 06:37:42 PM mandy I think thats pretty standard these days
2019-04-18 06:37:50 PM ibravo0788 ugh mee to so i try to have my budget and montly calender done by evry 20th
2019-04-18 06:38:01 PM kathyhughes I would ask if other departments have to spend their own money
2019-04-18 06:38:12 PM ashia good idea
2019-04-18 06:38:20 PM mandy I have to have my calander in by the 15th!
2019-04-18 06:38:34 PM kathyhughes Sometimes you have to stand up and ask the questions
2019-04-18 06:38:37 PM hmorris agree
2019-04-18 06:38:41 PM deirdre1 The 15th as well
2019-04-18 06:38:47 PM ashia it is way to much for me to be spending & have to wait to get money back
2019-04-18 06:38:51 PM ibravo0788 marketting(admissions) they have money have them dponncer you
2019-04-18 06:39:02 PM mandy I hate it. so much can change in 2 weeks. I have a lot of church programs and volunteer involvement that changes
2019-04-18 06:39:57 PM kathyhughes well I would just add "Calendar subject to change"....I would also think about adding because the company doesn't get it!!!
2019-04-18 06:39:58 PM ashia The thing is my budget inceased therfore I am spending more, ggod and bad thing
2019-04-18 06:39:59 PM mandy It makes us look like ewe dont know whats going on sometimes
2019-04-18 06:40:00 PM kathyhughes Kidding
2019-04-18 06:40:05 PM ibravo0788 well u can allway sdo and arts and crafts
2019-04-18 06:40:17 PM mandy lol
2019-04-18 06:40:19 PM kristenamrein I feel very strongly about issues like this because of my teaching background. Teachers are the only other professionals that I know of that have to pay for things out of their own pockets, why?
2019-04-18 06:40:21 PM virginiamooney lol
2019-04-18 06:41:05 PM ibravo0788 you can allways state in the bottom Activitys may change Due to inconviniences '
2019-04-18 06:41:07 PM katiesnezhkova thats why we should all become EDs and change the culture
2019-04-18 06:41:19 PM kathyhughes Kristen every time they talk about teachers I cringe...because I know that activity professional spend at least 2,000 dollars a year for their activities
2019-04-18 06:41:31 PM mandy I had to get paid back when I did volunteer coordinating for a hospice and I know several other business people that have to do it as well
2019-04-18 06:42:04 PM mandy the only ones that do not work for private business w/ no corporate strings
2019-04-18 06:42:39 PM kathyhughes It is difficult as we deal with quality of life and most people do not value that
2019-04-18 06:42:40 PM mandy so true! I have 2 sister inlaws that teach elementary
2019-04-18 06:42:51 PM ashia The company I used to work for sent a check & I cashed it & at end of month I turned in reciepts
2019-04-18 06:42:53 PM deirdre1 very true
2019-04-18 06:42:55 PM mandy Its funny sometimmes how simular our jobs are
2019-04-18 06:43:02 PM katiesnezhkova i work for a private company...and i have to still use petty cash for a lot because they wont give us access to a credit card
2019-04-18 06:43:16 PM deirdre1 Thats hoe it is done at my company
2019-04-18 06:43:23 PM deirdre1 how
2019-04-18 06:43:43 PM kathyhughes I used the credit card until one day they did not accept it...I was embassed
2019-04-18 06:43:50 PM kathyhughes embaressed
2019-04-18 06:44:03 PM katiesnezhkova i borrowed my EDs card and that happened to me too
2019-04-18 06:44:10 PM katiesnezhkova i had to use my own money anyway...
2019-04-18 06:44:22 PM kathyhughes So if we could not afford it then it wasn't planned
2019-04-18 06:44:35 PM ibravo0788 ({)
2019-04-18 06:44:42 PM kristenamrein My family (where there's a lot of us former teachers) is very good about donating resources they're no longer using, but not every family is like that.
2019-04-18 06:45:07 PM kathyhughes That is why I begged to every one
2019-04-18 06:45:07 PM mandy sadly I think that we are the ones that really see the difference when the good stuff gets skipped
2019-04-18 06:45:10 PM ashia Guess they want me to be expensive things and do less activities LOL
2019-04-18 06:45:11 PM deirdre1 Happened to me also kATHY at AC MOORE The house card was not working ..300.00 dollars of items...
2019-04-18 06:45:20 PM ashia buy
2019-04-18 06:45:26 PM kathyhughes I would place a monthly list of things that we needed
2019-04-18 06:45:42 PM kathyhughes Right they have to choose
2019-04-18 06:46:04 PM kristenamrein And in our department, we have a cat to support, which isn't cheap!
2019-04-18 06:46:05 PM kathyhughes I asked an ADM once what would he like me to cancel???
2019-04-18 06:46:11 PM mandy I have to be very creative and careful w/ the fundraising because they don't like how it "looks"
2019-04-18 06:46:22 PM hmorris right
2019-04-18 06:46:40 PM hmorris dont be too desperate looking
2019-04-18 06:46:45 PM mandy I try to always makeit something that benefits the residents directly plus helps a little for a future event
2019-04-18 06:46:46 PM ibravo0788 Recycaling arts and craft and decoration
2019-04-18 06:47:12 PM ibravo0788 i planned my volunteer luncheon in a 40 budget
2019-04-18 06:47:22 PM katiesnezhkova partner up with marketing on events. have them pay for some stuff
2019-04-18 06:47:33 PM ibravo0788 i mean i did what i could
2019-04-18 06:47:52 PM mandy we are selling fresh flowers the friday before mothers day to be delivered to the residents. I'll charge $10 and make about $3.25 ea
2019-04-18 06:47:57 PM kathyhughes I was very resourceful...I even dumpster dove
2019-04-18 06:48:08 PM mandy thats dedication
2019-04-18 06:48:08 PM kristenamrein I'm planning a luau, which, other than food (potentially) is under $100.
2019-04-18 06:48:17 PM virginiamooney Good idea

2019-04-18 06:48:32 PM kristenamrein Even with the food, that's still going to be under $100 for the event!
2019-04-18 06:48:34 PM deirdre1 Hahahahaah

2019-04-18 06:49:39 PM mandy I get crayons, pencils and markers from teachers when elementary lets out. Kids just leave all kinds of supplies and they save them for me
2019-04-18 06:49:47 PM kathyhughes That is when we had to make all of our decorations and do our own entertainment
2019-04-18 06:50:11 PM mandy Paper is still my favorite decoration!
2019-04-18 06:50:21 PM deirdre1 No shame....whatver it takes
2019-04-18 06:50:23 PM kathyhughes I also asked Teachers to donate their Christmas gifts to the residents...the ones they did not need

2019-04-18 06:51:11 PM mandy I even print our calanders on colored paper (its no extra charge) and then I turn them over and use them as placemats for birthday parties
2019-04-18 06:51:26 PM kathyhughes Yes there are lots of things that you can make and have the residents help
2019-04-18 06:51:28 PM kristenamrein So if you use TP rolls, construction paper, and paper plates, does anyone get told that the crafts look too childish? And if so, what do you tell the person who asked?
2019-04-18 06:51:29 PM hmorris wow
2019-04-18 06:51:47 PM kathyhughes I found that if they made the decorations for the evening party they would want to attend
2019-04-18 06:52:11 PM virginiamooney Great idea Kathy.
2019-04-18 06:52:13 PM ibravo0788 wow gotta try that one
2019-04-18 06:52:15 PM ashia they are a;ways so proud when they help make things
2019-04-18 06:52:23 PM kathyhughes I would tell them that is all that we can afford if you would like to donate some money then we can do better crafts
2019-04-18 06:52:37 PM virginiamooney (y)
2019-04-18 06:52:37 PM mandy I try not to use the tp and plates. I get cardstck out of the office for free every once in awhile and use it wisely

2019-04-23 05:32:25 PM kathyhughes It happens to everyone...how can I help???
2019-04-23 05:34:18 PM kathyhughes Any questions????anything that I can help with????
2019-04-23 05:35:08 PM ronda I think I posted my introduction/bio on the correct forum. So correct me if I am wrong but as I understand it.. we are required to attend at least 5 of the live chats and there are forum assignments and written assignments...
2019-04-23 05:35:44 PM ronda oh and a coure forum
2019-04-23 05:36:00 PM kathyhughes Correct, each section as reading assignments, written assignments, forum postings and the weekly chat
2019-04-23 05:36:12 PM kathyhughes And of course you have the Practicum as well
2019-04-23 05:36:57 PM ronda I notice there is also a course forum, what is that?
2019-04-23 05:37:38 PM kathyhughes In each section there is a course forum...you need to look in the Course forum for that section, read the posting and then respond to it

2019-04-23 05:41:47 PM kathyhughes I guess I do not have to be here early to help
2019-04-23 05:41:49 PM virginiamooney If I make it through all the midterm stuff I will be doing good. Very stressful!
2019-04-23 05:42:29 PM kathyhughes Do not let is stress you....you have all the answers in front of you and it is an open "book" exam
2019-04-23 05:43:44 PM virginiamooney I'm glad of that! But my midterm practicum is rough too. I was out all last week with the flu. So after sleeping all week, I am behind. And work is rough right now. So much going on. I am not going to be able to work at another faciltity til Friday! Argh!!
2019-04-23 05:44:13 PM kathyhughes Well at least you have some time to get all the tasks completed.
2019-04-23 05:44:24 PM kathyhughes Hope that you are feeling better
2019-04-23 05:44:48 PM ronda Too overwhelmed to even know where to start... ugh
2019-04-23 05:45:01 PM kathyhughes Ronda which class are you in???
2019-04-23 05:45:17 PM shirley12 This course is very helpful. I understand the expectiations better. My AD and I discuss the course everyday. She is learning too! LOL
2019-04-23 05:45:20 PM ronda MEPAP1-Own Pace
2019-04-23 05:45:35 PM kathyhughes Then you have a whole year to complete the course
2019-04-23 05:45:45 PM kathyhughes That is great Shirley
2019-04-23 05:45:57 PM virginiamooney Deep breath! Relax! Yes maam! Feeling much better now, Thank you. I still don't know who our new activity director will be. Still ticked that they wouldn't even let me interview. :@ You are lucky Shirley.
2019-04-23 05:46:04 PM kathyhughes and most of the students here have 16 weeks to complete the course
2019-04-23 05:46:39 PM kathyhughes Well Virginia I would look at your resume and see if there are other jobs out there
2019-04-23 05:47:17 PM virginiamooney Trust me, I am! lol As soon as I don't need my admoin as a practicum I'll be on the open market!

2019-04-23 05:48:08 PM shirley12 Virginia, that has happened to me too. As hard as it may be to believe right now, better opportunities will come your way.
2019-04-23 05:48:32 PM virginiamooney Thank you Shirley. (L)
2019-04-23 05:48:51 PM kathyhughes We all belong where we are for some reason
2019-04-23 05:49:01 PM ronda I just dont want to miss anything I am suppose to be doing because I have overlooked it or not aware of it.
2019-04-23 05:49:01 PM virginiamooney true
2019-04-23 05:49:11 PM malloryjbean Ronda, I felt/still feel the same way sometimes. I found that looking at the assignments list on the left hand side of the screen helps me keep organized and on track.
2019-04-23 05:49:32 PM malloryjbean It's under the Activities Tab right below AD Chatrooms
2019-04-23 05:49:51 PM shirley12 I love that tab!

2019-04-23 05:50:06 PM kathyhughes It is a good practice to make a weekly list of what you have to accomplish for the course
