2019-10-08 05:09:17 PM adriannamarshall (F)
2019-10-08 05:09:20 PM taylorasia1989 I finaly got in! Im excited because apparently Ipad's dont support Adobe Flash drive.. who knew?!
2019-10-08 05:16:40 PM taylorasia1989 I'm on Eastern time so I guess I'm a little early..
2019-10-08 05:18:00 PM adriannamarshall same here
2019-10-08 05:19:18 PM taylorasia1989 So tell me, have you started on the praticum assignments? I noticed nobody has really posted anything yet.
2019-10-08 05:20:21 PM yvetter enter the chat room
2019-10-08 05:20:49 PM adriannamarshall yes I have
2019-10-08 05:24:59 PM taylorasia1989 Ok, I'm getting kind of a late start but i know my biggest obstacle is going to be conducting an activity in a different facility. I'm a little nervous about that one.
2019-10-08 05:29:22 PM adriannamarshall Oh okay and it's not hard to do, just say you would like to shadow and assist an Activity Director for the day at a different facility
2019-10-08 05:29:30 PM deniseweiss enter the chat room
2019-10-08 05:29:54 PM ronda enter the chat room
2019-10-08 05:31:17 PM taylorasia1989 Oh okay! Thank you. Yes that sounds a lot better then what I had in mind. lol
2019-10-08 05:31:26 PM deniseweiss Hi all. I believe that assignment will be my greatest obstacle as well. I've hit a few roadblocks in developing my inter-facility event.
2019-10-08 05:31:57 PM ronda I enjoyed the inter-facility event
2019-10-08 05:33:24 PM deniseweiss My facility was recently acquired and now that we're under new ownership we're not "allowed" to have residents go to other facilities or have other facilities visit us.
2019-10-08 05:33:53 PM buddyrmorvent enter the chat room
2019-10-08 05:34:26 PM deniseweiss Is it just shadowing another AD at another facility? I thought it involved intermingling of residents from two facilities for a single event.
2019-10-08 05:35:22 PM adriannamarshall It is not just shadowing but you must assist in the event whether it be an ice cream social or painting class, etc.
2019-10-08 05:35:35 PM ronda I did an inter-facility event with the Senior Center. We had it at the hospital where I work and we each set-up a table to that all we have to offer the patients.
2019-10-08 05:36:37 PM ronda You have to spend two hoursat the other facility and have an inter-facility event.
2019-10-08 05:36:49 PM adriannamarshall Yes that's true
2019-10-08 05:37:00 PM deniseweiss Okay, so the residents don't actually have to be present at the event? That is where I'm having some trouble.
2019-10-08 05:38:59 PM taylorasia1989 No. I'm pretty sure your not taking residents with you
2019-10-08 05:39:07 PM ronda My patients went and got information from the Senior Center about meals on wheels once they were released from swingbed and other activities that will help them stay active. and the Senior Center participates got information from my booth about services we offer and information on advanced directives.
2019-10-08 05:39:40 PM adriannamarshall Not necessarily.
2019-10-08 05:39:41 PM foxkaren enter the chat room
2019-10-08 05:39:58 PM bpasdon enter the chat room
2019-10-08 05:40:16 PM bpasdon hello everyone
2019-10-08 05:40:23 PM foxkaren Hi sorry late just got off work.
2019-10-08 05:41:01 PM taylorasia1989 It's just doing an activity at a different facility other than the one you work in. I thought I had to facilitate something with residents I was not familiar with but shadowing someone else and assisting sounds much easier!
2019-10-08 05:41:08 PM ronda I'm not saying one way or the other but Kathy said that what I would counted as the inter-facility event because I asked her before I planned the whole event.
2019-10-08 05:42:14 PM buddyrmorvent Does anyone else find these assignments poorly written and difficult to understand?
2019-10-08 05:42:34 PM bpasdon Make sure you are all posting in the practimun forums... i unfourtently did nto understand some of the directions and did not get full credit :(
2019-10-08 05:42:42 PM deniseweiss Okay, so it sounds like it's just planning an event that would benefit residents from more than one facility but the event doesn't necessarily have to be a single event. The same actiity could be duplicated at both facilities?
2019-10-08 05:42:49 PM ronda THe event can occur at your facility but you have to have another facility involved.
2019-10-08 05:43:07 PM taylorasia1989 ronda: I think that's great that you made an oppurtunity to spread information to those in need!
2019-10-08 05:43:09 PM adriannamarshall exactly what ronda just said

2019-10-08 05:44:31 PM deniseweiss OK, I see. Thank you for your help, everyone. I also reached out to Kathy to pick her brain about this. There are some restrictions given our new ownership that I wanted to make sure wouldn't cause problems in delivering this assignment.
2019-10-08 05:44:58 PM yvetter Good evening everyone!
2019-10-08 05:45:05 PM adriannamarshall you're welcome
2019-10-08 05:45:07 PM aehutchins Hello!
2019-10-08 05:45:12 PM taylorasia1989 I find alot of the assignments both written and reading can be repetitious
2019-10-08 05:45:14 PM ronda We did it on Senior Citizen's Day.
2019-10-08 05:45:30 PM adriannamarshall nice ronda!

2019-10-08 05:46:27 PM bpasdon I work in adult day health and it is a requirment now unde DPH that i get certified. Even though i am doing the own pace, my facility is being uncooperative about me working on this during work hours. I have a second job and even with a year have found it hard to get stuff done. i have a little under two months to finish and think i am going to just finish by the skin of my teeth... anyone else having any similar issues?

2019-10-08 05:49:11 PM ronda I work in a swingbed program in a small western Texas CAH hospital and we do not deal with MDS 3.0, so that took me a little bit.
2019-10-08 05:49:14 PM bpasdon taylor, what does that consist of?
2019-10-08 05:49:16 PM juliecormier enter the chat room
2019-10-08 05:49:18 PM adriannamarshall that's true bpasdon it is hard to finish all the courses in time while working full time at a skilled nursing facility. Plus my mother is in a nursing home and I assist in taking care of my grandma

2019-10-08 05:53:05 PM deniseweiss I work in a nursing and rehabilitation facility and the daily responsibilities are demanding yet manageble. I find I'm much more productive with my assignments, aside from the practicum assignments, when I work on them at home.
2019-10-08 05:53:46 PM kate1995 We have a magician coming for the residents aida1. It should be a lot of fun.
2019-10-08 05:53:49 PM ronda I took my midterm last night and passed, whew!!!!

2019-10-08 05:53:52 PM yvetter I also have been adjusting the times that I have to do my work for class. I struggle reading and doing assignments in the evening because by the time my children are asleep I am already tired. I am going to try to wake up earlier in the morning so that I can read with a refreshed mind that is ready to soak up any information i read.
2019-10-08 05:53:56 PM adriannamarshall I'm pretty much ready for Halloween.
2019-10-08 05:54:09 PM aehutchins We have picked a theme for halloween, Circus! We pulled out decorations and started handing stuff today.

2019-10-08 05:56:50 PM juliecormier Ronda was the midterm hard?
2019-10-08 05:56:50 PM aehutchins I was thinking of inviting a local school to come trick or treat but I wasn't sure...worth a shot

2019-10-08 06:08:05 PM bpasdon How does kathy know if we have attneded this?

2019-10-08 06:08:36 PM emilynb1 i think upcoming events would be more appropriate for people who are in the beginning of the course
2019-10-08 06:08:51 PM sonyamsullivan There will be a transcript for Kathy to read.
2019-10-08 06:08:57 PM edithscarrillo Here in Vegas if you are older is difficult to find a job in the casinos

2019-10-08 06:09:12 PM merrellsherry I have the same problem with assumptions about technology. my facility gives me difficulty about wanting to provede residents with tablets

2019-10-08 06:11:00 PM juliecormier We are having a family night this Thursday with a band, 1 vender and a dessert bar. What and when are the fall festivals?
2019-10-08 06:11:02 PM kate1995 The reason I'm takin this class is so that I can get the ADCP for my facility and then get the necessary college credits for ADC track 5. So I guess my questions really are more for Kathy.
2019-10-08 06:11:03 PM deniseweiss That's a really good example, Asia. I would add that another ageist idea is that seniors are unable to manage their own finances.
