2019-07-02 05:38:05 PM ljohnson great thaank you :)
2019-07-02 05:38:35 PM kathyhughes Mary why are you going to Japan?
2019-07-02 05:39:03 PM millermary8 I lived there for 3 years after college. I try to go back and visit friends "practically family" every other year
2019-07-02 05:39:19 PM kathyhughes Thats great where in Japan?
2019-07-02 05:39:47 PM millermary8 A small town called Sanpoku. It's at the top of Niigata Prefecture. Some of the most beautiiful coastline in the world there
2019-07-02 05:40:05 PM kathyhughes I would bet!
2019-07-02 05:40:30 PM kathyhughes it is a beautiful country
2019-07-02 05:40:46 PM millermary8 very much so :D
2019-07-02 05:40:50 PM millermary8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOfu7hTnfm8
2019-07-02 05:41:04 PM millermary8 ^ for anyone who wants to see the coast hahahaha

2019-07-02 05:42:14 PM millermary8 np :)
2019-07-02 05:42:40 PM ronda Kathy on our practicum assgnments on the hours to complete, what happens if the total of hours doesn't total 90?
2019-07-02 05:43:59 PM kathyhughes I would guess that you are not taking full credit for the assignment....did you consider the time that you spent discussing it with your Practicum Supervisor and the time to post it in the Practicum Forum...it should add up to 90 hours or I will have to add more assignments for the following classes
2019-07-02 05:45:17 PM dwilliams enter the chat room
2019-07-02 05:45:39 PM kathyhughes And for some unknown reason a fellow student posted on the NCCAP Facebook page that her Practicum took her 30 hours total and she took this class from ADN so now I am getting grief from NCCAP
2019-07-02 05:46:42 PM ronda Oh no, I was just counting the actual time to do the "busy" part of it, the summary not the actual interviews and practicum advisor discussion or the research and planning
2019-07-02 05:46:51 PM millermary8 :/ that bites. But I myself didn't think to add in hours outside of practicum supervisor chats 8-|
2019-07-02 05:47:23 PM kathyhughes Yes it is a total of all the time it took you to do the assignments
2019-07-02 05:47:55 PM millermary8 not sure why hahaha, in hindsight hours spent researching, creating, etc are still hours working on it *facepalm* :$
2019-07-02 05:48:00 PM dwilliams yea i think i messed up on my hours
2019-07-02 05:48:21 PM kathyhughes Correct all of the time that you spent you should take credit for
2019-07-02 05:48:23 PM ronda Good to know
2019-07-02 05:48:29 PM millermary8 will do!
2019-07-02 05:48:40 PM kathyhughes It is an example of how you don't take credit for all that you do at the facility

2019-07-02 06:10:46 PM aclady it does smell good
2019-07-02 06:10:50 PM csedlock86 I had to break down and tell the staff that for every bag of popcorn they took, they had to offer one to a resident.4
2019-07-02 06:10:55 PM aida1 i have the pop corn machine and we use it every friday and sundays for muvies and pop corn

2019-07-02 06:12:20 PM csedlock86 Haha I fear the clean up from charging the staff though, so I usually give staff whats left after residents had their fill.
2019-07-02 06:12:21 PM ljohnson i dont think my boss would let us charge employees though but good idea
2019-07-02 06:12:22 PM summerlane thats what we do as well , ice cream for special diets
