2014-01-23 06:46:18 PM kathyhughes Hello Jackie
2014-01-23 06:46:42 PM kathyhughes How are you doing?
2014-01-23 06:48:33 PM jackietate Hello... crazy night for me as I had entertainment show up at my facility and I do not believe I booked them for tonight so I had no staff there and was called by the secretary.. but I must wait til tomorrow to go into town and confirm that and I am correct and that this is not my mistake
2014-01-23 06:49:10 PM kathyhughes that happens...I have had that and don't worry about it
2014-01-23 06:50:03 PM kathyhughes Sometimes its just being human
2014-01-23 06:50:08 PM jackietate schedule is hard for when you have entertainment in the evening my staff is so picky to that days that they can or will work so it is hard for me.. sometimes I just end up doing it mysef.. more often than I should
2014-01-23 06:50:39 PM kdillon ha i wish i could be picky. i get no choice in my schedule, really.
2014-01-23 06:50:42 PM scalabrese enter the chat room
2014-01-23 06:50:55 PM kathyhughes I would ask them to pick one night a week that they can work
2014-01-23 06:51:04 PM kathyhughes Hello Stefani
2014-01-23 06:51:34 PM kathyhughes I had my staff pick their evenings and told them that its all part of the job
2014-01-23 06:51:35 PM scalabrese Hello! hope everyone is doing well! i gotta finish the dishes and i will be back. just getting ready
2014-01-23 06:51:46 PM kathyhughes ok
2014-01-23 06:52:10 PM jackietate I know I must be more demanding and just assign the evenings especially when entertainment is booked managing is my challange at this time
2014-01-23 06:52:14 PM kathyhughes Activities take place all hours of the day and night
2014-01-23 06:52:43 PM kathyhughes Have them pick their evenings for the month and then schedule around that
2014-01-23 06:52:49 PM kdillon when i was hired in we had a prn that worked evenings and weekends. they magically disappeared from the budget, now i work every weekend and 3 evenings a week. the other 2 staff never work weekends or evenings
2014-01-23 06:53:20 PM jackietate I am so trying..
2014-01-23 06:53:21 PM kathyhughes I would definately change that
2014-01-23 06:53:43 PM jackietate does anyone have uniforms?
2014-01-23 06:53:55 PM kathyhughes Hey....then when they get the deficiency they will have to work more that once a week in the evenings
2014-01-23 06:54:45 PM kathyhughes and Kelly you are now making less than minimum wage
2014-01-23 06:55:13 PM kdillon we don't have uniforms... we are a quaker facility. the dining services have uniforms, but they are very different from when i started. we aren't allowed to wear jeans or open toed shoes.

2014-01-23 06:55:42 PM kathyhughes Hello Suzanne
2014-01-23 06:55:56 PM suzanneoliver hello everyone
2014-01-23 06:56:05 PM jackietate Our director picked the polo that is for activity director week in positive promotions it is not going over well... two out of the three staff is complaining
2014-01-23 06:56:15 PM kathyhughes Sometimes I think that we are our worse enemies when it comes to staffing
2014-01-23 06:56:33 PM jackietate oh I so believe that Kathy
2014-01-23 06:56:56 PM jackietate can't make everyone happy all the time I say
2014-01-23 06:57:15 PM kathyhughes We want to give the residents so much, but we forget that when we overdo our time we aren't as affective
2014-01-23 06:57:16 PM shelly76 enter the chat room
2014-01-23 06:57:23 PM kathyhughes Hello Michelle
2014-01-23 06:57:40 PM jackietate what do you mean by "overdo our time"
2014-01-23 06:57:43 PM shelly76 HI Kathy and everyone else...
2014-01-23 06:57:54 PM kathyhughes Overtime and working too much
2014-01-23 06:57:58 PM kathyhughes taking work home
2014-01-23 06:58:11 PM kathyhughes stopping to pick up something for a resident
2014-01-23 06:58:21 PM jackietate I believe as the Activity Director I am the only one bringing work home
2014-01-23 06:58:44 PM suzanneoliver i guess we all do the same extras don't we
2014-01-23 06:59:00 PM kathyhughes I did that ...and finally figured out that I was working 90+ hours a week and was making less than minimum wage
2014-01-23 06:59:07 PM kathyhughes I stopped it the next day
2014-01-23 06:59:10 PM jackietate I got tired of picking the crafts, the cooking and now have each staff assigned to pick for the day they are doing it so I don't have to
2014-01-23 06:59:14 PM kathyhughes there is always tomorrow
2014-01-23 06:59:23 PM shelly76 Me too...although some of my staff will bring home projects ..
2014-01-23 06:59:46 PM kathyhughes If they want to thats fine, but the Nurses don't take things home
2014-01-23 06:59:55 PM kathyhughes and they make far more than we do
2014-01-23 06:59:57 PM shelly76 Very true
2014-01-23 07:00:00 PM kathyhughes and have more staff
2014-01-23 07:00:05 PM jackietate oh you are so correct
2014-01-23 07:00:27 PM shelly76 left the chat room
2014-01-23 07:00:30 PM kathyhughes Nursing actually has all the staff working for them
2014-01-23 07:00:39 PM kathyhughes and I mean all of us
2014-01-23 07:00:46 PM suzanneoliver I take it home "mentally" too. I am always thinking of certain residents and their needs
2014-01-23 07:00:54 PM shelly76 enter the chat room
2014-01-23 07:01:09 PM kathyhughes So what can we do to stop?
2014-01-23 07:01:19 PM jackietate Nursing we LNA's gets upset with us when we have evening entertainment for they just want to get everyone to bed early
2014-01-23 07:01:40 PM kathyhughes So why have entertainment at night?
2014-01-23 07:01:42 PM shelly76 I do the same thing Suzanne...to the point where it keeps me up at night..
2014-01-23 07:01:53 PM jackietate can we ever stop caring.. I don't believe so I mean thats why we do what we do.. rignt
2014-01-23 07:02:06 PM shelly76 Right Jackie
2014-01-23 07:02:19 PM suzanneoliver That's so true
2014-01-23 07:02:34 PM scalabrese we have to have evening activities that's why. correct?
2014-01-23 07:02:37 PM kathyhughes It is one of the reasons but then we burn out are aren't able to do our jobs to actually help the residents
2014-01-23 07:02:45 PM shelly76 I always tell my staff that nursing thinks clinicaly, we think emotionally
2014-01-23 07:02:51 PM jackietate We have entertainment for the residents... they may not remember tomorrow but in the moment the smile... is worth so much to them to thier family and to us.. as activity
2014-01-23 07:03:36 PM kathyhughes You have to provide activities but what you do in the evening can be creative and less taxing on the staff and residents
2014-01-23 07:03:48 PM jackietate that is so true shelly... they think of what has to be done and we think of what can we do to make the residents happy
2014-01-23 07:03:58 PM kathyhughes You should check with your resident council to see if they have ideas for the evenings
2014-01-23 07:04:08 PM shelly76 Exactly Jackie...
2014-01-23 07:04:59 PM scalabrese when i was an aid i hoped they would go and encouraged it so then i wouldnt have to put them to bed lol
2014-01-23 07:05:01 PM suzanneoliver we have several different groups that come in the evening and play music that's pretty easy on everyone
2014-01-23 07:05:01 PM jackietate well.. superbowl is coming up and I am not doing a really big superbowl party... I am preparing the end room with decorations and a sign and leaving it up to the LNA staff to make it happen... I am hoping it works..
2014-01-23 07:05:49 PM kathyhughes If you look at the Interpretive Guidelines everyone in the facility are responsible for activities
2014-01-23 07:06:05 PM kathyhughes Good idea Jackie

2014-01-23 07:07:29 PM jackietate Well I believe some of the staff will be looking for an excuse to watch some of the game and I am giving them an opertunity to do so... LOL
2014-01-23 07:07:29 PM kathyhughes And we have to see if there are activities people who will work the evenings and weekends
2014-01-23 07:07:31 PM kdillon we have a movie every sunday evening, music at least one evening a week, and a lecture one evening a week. sometimes we just do board games if there isn't a lecture
2014-01-23 07:08:26 PM jackietate thats a lot of evenings kdillon.. how many staff / residents do you have
2014-01-23 07:08:27 PM kathyhughes I found a sorority to come in once a week to do scrapbooking with the residents
2014-01-23 07:08:40 PM scalabrese thats cool
2014-01-23 07:08:51 PM jackietate do you have staff their for the sorority?
2014-01-23 07:09:02 PM jackietate your staff
2014-01-23 07:09:04 PM kdillon for late late nights if residents are restless we have sensory stimulation carts on both of our nursing wings. i am the only staff member that works evenings/weekends. my boss and the music therapist are 9-5 and do mostly meetings while i run groups
2014-01-23 07:09:16 PM 131570 That's nice. We have a residents daughter who does stuff like that with our residents some sundays
2014-01-23 07:09:17 PM kathyhughes I didn't have a problem with staff working evenings or weekends as they were union staff
2014-01-23 07:09:39 PM suzanneoliver I have a couple of HS kids volunteering on the weeks as part of honor society projects
2014-01-23 07:09:44 PM kathyhughes they got extra pay for 2nd shift and had to work every other weekend and ever other holiday
2014-01-23 07:09:59 PM scalabrese my staff does every other weekend to be fair, and our part time person does tues and thurs evenings
2014-01-23 07:10:05 PM suzanneoliver i meant weekends
2014-01-23 07:10:07 PM jackietate is there a set amount of evenings required that activities must be provided?
2014-01-23 07:10:28 PM kathyhughes Once I hired a college student who also worked evenings and weekends
2014-01-23 07:10:37 PM 131570 I work Tuesday through saturday and the AD mon-fri so most of our week is taken care of
2014-01-23 07:10:38 PM kathyhughes we had less activities during the day
2014-01-23 07:10:39 PM scalabrese which isnt a big deal bc he goes on the floor as an aid when he is done with activities
2014-01-23 07:11:05 PM kathyhughes No there isn't a specific number of hours for evenings
2014-01-23 07:11:15 PM kathyhughes It depends on the residents
2014-01-23 07:11:26 PM scalabrese Kathy, not to change the subject but do we have a small group for this class?
2014-01-23 07:11:37 PM kathyhughes Yes we do
2014-01-23 07:11:37 PM jackietate so when the state comes in do they really look at what we provide?
2014-01-23 07:11:45 PM shelly76 Our residents don't like any activities past 5...lol
2014-01-23 07:12:00 PM kathyhughes there are actually on 25 people in all 4 MEPAP2 classes
2014-01-23 07:12:06 PM scalabrese ok i was wondering, there were so many more in MEPAP1
2014-01-23 07:12:22 PM 131570 Yea our residents are pretty pooped by supper time
2014-01-23 07:12:23 PM scalabrese thats a surprise!
2014-01-23 07:12:30 PM kathyhughes I don't know why folks don't continue I think I scare them off
2014-01-23 07:12:49 PM kathyhughes Thats why we did room to room carts in the evenings
2014-01-23 07:12:54 PM scalabrese oh my gosh! if you scare them off they have major issues or reallllllly thin skin
2014-01-23 07:13:01 PM jackietate if your scaring them off their hearts were never in it... Kathy
2014-01-23 07:13:01 PM kathyhughes and we had a movie if they wanted it
2014-01-23 07:13:09 PM shelly76 I will say again, KATHY IS NOT SCARY!!! lol
2014-01-23 07:13:16 PM scalabrese I KNOW!!
2014-01-23 07:13:21 PM kathyhughes I shouldn't take it personally
2014-01-23 07:13:34 PM kathyhughes and I tell everyone that MEPAP2 is easier
2014-01-23 07:13:47 PM kdillon left the chat room
2014-01-23 07:13:48 PM scalabrese you did say that from day 1!
2014-01-23 07:14:01 PM kathyhughes thanks....for hanging in there!
2014-01-23 07:14:11 PM 131570 It is easier Kathy!!!
2014-01-23 07:14:20 PM scalabrese no problem! i enjoy it and it is easier for sure
2014-01-23 07:14:22 PM 131570 I was pleasantly surprised
2014-01-23 07:14:23 PM kathyhughes I know
2014-01-23 07:14:35 PM scalabrese it only betters you and your residents so what do you have to lose
2014-01-23 07:14:59 PM suzanneoliver I know how proud I was to get my first certificate I will be really ectastic when I totally have finished the course
2014-01-23 07:15:04 PM kathyhughes I hope more folks will be joining me next week when the new classes start
2014-01-23 07:15:20 PM kathyhughes and even better when you pass the national exam!
2014-01-23 07:15:23 PM shelly76 I am loving this course....and the knowledge I can gain from Kathy...
2014-01-23 07:15:40 PM kathyhughes thanks
2014-01-23 07:15:51 PM 131570 So I was reading on the nccap site that the exam is available at ACT test sites....do you know how that works Kathy?
2014-01-23 07:15:54 PM suzanneoliver I am worried about the test because I crumble at test
2014-01-23 07:16:10 PM shelly76 Me too Suzanne...
2014-01-23 07:16:35 PM kathyhughes I will have to look them up ...I am sure it works like Comira and you call the center close to you and set up a time to take it
2014-01-23 07:16:51 PM scalabrese so do we have to have college credits to be nationally certified?
2014-01-23 07:16:53 PM kathyhughes Not to worry and Michelle when did you take MEPAP1?
2014-01-23 07:17:02 PM kathyhughes Yes 12 college credits
2014-01-23 07:17:13 PM kathyhughes 4 classes on of which is English
2014-01-23 07:17:19 PM kathyhughes one
2014-01-23 07:17:25 PM kathyhughes Its easy
2014-01-23 07:17:30 PM scalabrese i have college writing 1 and 2
2014-01-23 07:17:31 PM jackietate after the MEPAPII I must begin my college credits part
2014-01-23 07:17:37 PM shelly76 About 15 years ago, from you, in Poughkeepsie
2014-01-23 07:18:01 PM scalabrese algebra, psychology, med term, chem
2014-01-23 07:18:17 PM kathyhughes Okay you might not have to take the exam....although don't hold me to that
2014-01-23 07:18:36 PM 131570 How quickly does nccap recieve the info after we've finished the course? I am assuming it has to register that it is complete before i can take thier exam...
2014-01-23 07:18:57 PM kathyhughes I would apply for ADPC Track 4 all and that way you can take the exam right after this class
2014-01-23 07:19:12 PM kathyhughes then you would have 6 years to finish the college courses
2014-01-23 07:19:13 PM 131570 Ok thanks
2014-01-23 07:19:18 PM shelly76 I will be stating my college credits when i finish this course
2014-01-23 07:19:18 PM jackietate Thats what I did.. I am ADPC
2014-01-23 07:19:22 PM kathyhughes You have to apply for NCCAP certification
2014-01-23 07:19:48 PM kathyhughes ADN lets them know that you finished the courses, but you have to apply
2014-01-23 07:20:05 PM scalabrese ok. and what is the test like?
2014-01-23 07:20:11 PM kathyhughes and if you apply using Track 4 you can then take the exam right away
2014-01-23 07:20:18 PM scalabrese awesome!
2014-01-23 07:20:19 PM kathyhughes Want to know a secret?
2014-01-23 07:20:25 PM scalabrese yep! lol
2014-01-23 07:20:27 PM jackietate yes we do..
2014-01-23 07:20:28 PM suzanneoliver yes
2014-01-23 07:20:28 PM shelly76 of course
2014-01-23 07:20:33 PM 131570 what?
2014-01-23 07:20:51 PM kathyhughes I helped write the questions and placed them in your exams in these courses
2014-01-23 07:21:01 PM kathyhughes so you will do fine
2014-01-23 07:21:08 PM 131570 Awesome
2014-01-23 07:21:21 PM kathyhughes and I have a Study Guide that I give classes at the end of MEPAP2
2014-01-23 07:21:26 PM shelly76 Very nice(y)
2014-01-23 07:21:32 PM suzanneoliver good
2014-01-23 07:21:58 PM kathyhughes And IF you should fail...they send you back to me and I can give you an exam
2014-01-23 07:22:01 PM 131570 oh good. I could probably use a study guide
2014-01-23 07:22:16 PM kathyhughes which has never happened with the ADN students
2014-01-23 07:22:33 PM shelly76 Since it has been so long since I took MEPAP1, I am worried about that part of the exam
2014-01-23 07:22:37 PM kathyhughes So I wouldn't worry
