2019-12-03 07:05:12 PM czuniga So many rules
2019-12-03 07:05:23 PM leiafzepp i was curious about this, because on the midterm there was a true or false question that said "true or false, you can become an activity director after working in a nursong home setting for 2 years in the past 5. i thought it would be false, since you need other qualifications but it was true.
2019-12-03 07:05:32 PM alexiew Does So MEPAP 1 could possible get you a activity director job depending on which state your in.
2019-12-03 07:05:36 PM kathyhughes It is true

2019-12-03 07:06:51 PM jessicabaucom Yea I kind of overlook that eailer when I came in and no one was on
2019-12-03 07:06:57 PM alexiew Ive been working in nursing homes for almost 10 years, with about 3 years of actvities aid.
2019-12-03 07:06:59 PM chloebice in the state of TX all you need for the job is MEPEP1, but easier if certified or have experience
2019-12-03 07:07:04 PM kathyhughes Look at the week 2 (section 2) assignment
2019-12-03 07:07:09 PM sryan the certiication will allow you to have any AD job
2019-12-03 07:07:14 PM leiafzepp mepap or continuing edication or high school diploma.
2019-12-03 07:07:27 PM kathyhughes You need all of those Leia
2019-12-03 07:07:42 PM gayle78 left the chat room
2019-12-03 07:07:48 PM jessicabaucom In my place you need at least a year experence or to take this course
2019-12-03 07:08:00 PM spassa federal is how residents rights and such while state is kinda to the personal isolations examples
2019-12-03 07:08:03 PM tanya1 Mine too
2019-12-03 07:08:05 PM czuniga you need mepap2 also to get certified?
2019-12-03 07:08:05 PM alexiew As a actvities director will you need to take CE to keep your cerifiication?
2019-12-03 07:08:14 PM kathyhughes Each facility will have their own policy as well
2019-12-03 07:08:21 PM jessicabaucom I think you do Alex
2019-12-03 07:08:30 PM leiafzepp okay, that question made it seem like you only needed two years of work experiance to become an ad. idk im very confused about this but im currently looking at week 2.
2019-12-03 07:09:12 PM sryan keep going leia it will get easier as the weeks go on.
2019-12-03 07:09:21 PM kathyhughes You will need to have so many hours of continuing education every 2 years to maintain your NCCAP certification
2019-12-03 07:09:26 PM crdsteele i thought the same thing leiafzepp, but i understand what it was trying to say
2019-12-03 07:09:34 PM kathyhughes YOU are NOT certified when you complete this course
2019-12-03 07:09:43 PM alexiew I got it
2019-12-03 07:09:52 PM tanya1 Thanks
2019-12-03 07:10:06 PM kathyhughes You really should read the Federal regulations and it spells it all out
2019-12-03 07:10:15 PM czuniga take both courese then the stae exam? correct?
2019-12-03 07:10:37 PM czuniga certification exam?
2019-12-03 07:10:45 PM evetteh What czuniga is saying is that correct?
2019-12-03 07:10:52 PM sryan but having the certifcation from this coruse will will allow you to get a AD job
2019-12-03 07:11:01 PM alexiew Its hard to keep everything straight, there is many different ways to become director.
2019-12-03 07:11:07 PM kathyhughes For your ADC you take both courses and then apply to NCCAP...at that time you will get a pass from NCCAP to take the NATIONAL EXAM
2019-12-03 07:11:13 PM kathyhughes there are NO state exams
2019-12-03 07:11:15 PM leiafzepp yes i understand that, maybe i miss read the question because it made it seem like you could just work at a nursing home for 2 out of the last 5 years and becom an activity director.
2019-12-03 07:11:20 PM evetteh Ok Got it!
2019-12-03 07:11:31 PM czuniga oops, sorry

2019-12-03 07:14:51 PM leiafzepp and to become an demintia practionair you have to take a class, in ohio it costs 100$ but i lucked out because my boss is able to teach that class and my work paid for my certification
