2020-03-03 07:04:38 PM briannal my last two weeks of march consist of a st. pattys day party and musicians
2020-03-03 07:04:48 PM elenamv I still need to find entertainment for St. Patrick's Day though! I may end up just leading the residents in a sing-along of Irish songs
2020-03-03 07:05:12 PM russonick987 that sounds good I think they would like that
2020-03-03 07:05:22 PM rsmale me too

2020-03-03 07:06:29 PM eckhartdanielle Having dancers is a great idea
2020-03-03 07:06:31 PM hnichols1 Live entertainment is expensive. Have you tried getting a local business to "sponser" a musician for a show?
2020-03-03 07:06:34 PM tracichambers we made leprechaun door hangers today
2020-03-03 07:06:41 PM elenamv You might be able to get a chaplain from a Catholic facility to come help with Easter activities. Pitch it to them as outreach

2020-03-03 07:07:11 PM elenamv Or see if any local churches have Stephen ministers who could come spend time with individual residnets and pray
2020-03-03 07:07:17 PM tracichambers no, but that is a good idea. and finding volunteers is like pulling teeth. i'm the only one there except one volunteer that comes once a week for a couple of hours.

2020-03-03 07:07:41 PM spassa I've went as far as offering dinners or lunches to try to get churches involved

2020-03-03 07:09:54 PM tracichambers i called the navarro college to get volunteers, and see if choir can come out
2020-03-03 07:10:13 PM erinm1 Planting a tree or starting a garden club is great for earth day.

2020-03-03 07:10:27 PM russonick987 Sounds like a good idea
2020-03-03 07:10:32 PM briannal In April we keep our calendar pretty regular because you'd be surprised the amount of jehovah witness residents we have who don't celebrate. We used to have the residents hide the eggs inthe courtyard and then kis from a school near by will go hunt for the eggs

2020-03-03 07:16:47 PM jenniferslockbower We have about 100 regular volunteers throughout the year. We are so blessed. Next month we will have our big Volunteer dinner to thank them during volunteer week
2020-03-03 07:16:57 PM rsmale local high schools those kids usually need volenteer time for college apps

2020-03-03 07:17:34 PM eckhartdanielle I had one very terrible volunteer once who did nothing!! It was super infuriating.
2020-03-03 07:17:37 PM hnichols1 If you have a large veteran population in your facility reach out to loval VFW's and Legion Posts. Colleges, churches, boy/girlscouts, loacal retailers that reward community involvement (Target and Walmart).
2020-03-03 07:17:43 PM spassa left the chat room
2020-03-03 07:17:43 PM bstewart Our community just open & i'm new in the field so i feel so lost
2020-03-03 07:17:44 PM bstewart I Need plenty of help and ideas
2020-03-03 07:17:45 PM briannal yeah we do a volunteer dinner as well around summertime, but it's mainly just the churches who come in. we don't have many volunteers who just show up. my facility is really strict with the volunteers
2020-03-03 07:18:04 PM sbarzak BSTEWART-- WHAT DO YOU NEED HELP WITH
2020-03-03 07:18:05 PM tracichambers activity connection helps alot
2020-03-03 07:18:10 PM pjbell yes Sherry im doing alright
2020-03-03 07:18:17 PM elenamv Just trying to keep my head above water with the assignments, taking over the department while our director is on maternity leave and working a church job that gets crazy during Lent.
2020-03-03 07:18:28 PM dawncalexander ya I would love some volunteers but none stay
2020-03-03 07:18:33 PM ciericah I would like some to be able to contact someone in our class sometimes when I need help after hours if possible
2020-03-03 07:18:35 PM elaine congrats on the wedding
2020-03-03 07:18:37 PM briannal they have to go through a background check and be at least 18 years old. the CEO is thinking about dropping the age to 16

2020-03-03 07:18:49 PM briannal thank you elaine!
2020-03-03 07:18:54 PM scibaamanda Oh no, very overwhelming with new job, class, assignments and haven't really started on any of the practicum assignments, except the first 3.
2020-03-03 07:18:59 PM tiffym73 We have some great volunteers. One lady comes in to do activities with the ones who can't speak english
2020-03-03 07:19:01 PM tracichambers she should definitely drop the age, because summer time is coming
2020-03-03 07:19:21 PM jbar7729 Bri , thats awesome ! You may not think you have a life but youre doing great
2020-03-03 07:19:30 PM sbarzak I CURRENTLY CANT GET IN TO MY EMAIL FROM ACTIVITYDIRECTORS NETWORK-- PLEASE MESSAGE ME HERE TONIGHT SO I CAN HELP YOU WITH MY WORK EMAIL
2020-03-03 07:19:36 PM sarahmarsh Brianna that's a good point. A lot of high school students need community service hours and they may end up enjoying volunteering
2020-03-03 07:19:41 PM eckhartdanielle I'm confident in my work, I'm on the right track
2020-03-03 07:19:43 PM bstewart With trying to get activities that SNF would get involved with
2020-03-03 07:19:43 PM briannal i know all the activity directors from our other 9 facilities are really fighting for it. those kids in high school need so many to get scholarships so it makes sense
2020-03-03 07:20:20 PM rsmale sbarzak If i need help can I email youin some way.
2020-03-03 07:20:28 PM sarah enter the chat room

2020-03-03 07:21:17 PM tracichambers i think so too, and it'll look good on her transcript for hs
2020-03-03 07:21:31 PM tiffym73 Some of the high functioning residents also like to volunteer. One of our residents is teaching an art class. Another is setting up card games
2020-03-03 07:21:42 PM sbarzak WHAT HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE YOU WORKING ON CURRENTLY
2020-03-03 07:21:50 PM briannal i was 18 when i first started, but i grew up in the facility i work at because my mom is the ADON and has been for 21 years and my great grandfather was on our memory care unit
2020-03-03 07:21:50 PM rsmale left the chat room
2020-03-03 07:21:55 PM dawncalexander is anyone doing anything for St Pattys day
2020-03-03 07:21:57 PM briannal nursing homes is all i've ever known lol
2020-03-03 07:21:58 PM rsmale enter the chat room
2020-03-03 07:22:02 PM hnichols1 Also if you are near a military base that holds classes for soldiers they are required to volunteer for each class. Ladies love a man in uniform.
2020-03-03 07:22:02 PM erinm1 I just started week one reading
2020-03-03 07:22:34 PM russonick987 It is a lot you will get the hang of it thought the reading is the hard part
2020-03-03 07:22:37 PM eckhartdanielle That's a really neat idea!
2020-03-03 07:22:46 PM sbarzak RESIDENT VOLUNTEERS--PLEASE WRITE QUARTLERY PROGRESS NOTE ON IT. ALSO HAVE IT CARE PLANNED.
2020-03-03 07:22:46 PM tracichambers i have not even looked at home work yet, i literally just walked in the door, andturned the computer on, between work, school, kids, and everyday life....OVERWHELMED is not even touching the subject lol
2020-03-03 07:22:55 PM dawncalexander There is a lot of reading in this class
2020-03-03 07:23:00 PM eckhartdanielle I like to read and find it interesting but I can only do it for so long
2020-03-03 07:23:11 PM pjbell the reading is hard i get distracted
2020-03-03 07:23:17 PM briannal sooooo much more work than i thought, but i understand because we are working in health care
2020-03-03 07:23:18 PM scibaamanda Haven't read the Week 5 assignments yet.
2020-03-03 07:23:18 PM vallen I am having trouble with the week 4 written stuff but I hope to get caught up tomorrow
2020-03-03 07:23:40 PM tracichambers oh man, the reading is hard for me too. i read it and forget what i just read, like high school all over again lol
2020-03-03 07:23:52 PM tiffym73 We do write quarterly notes and progress on our resident volunteers.
2020-03-03 07:23:56 PM ciericah Has anyone started on week assignment 5 yet?
2020-03-03 07:23:58 PM elaine We have resident volunteers for mail, goody cart, crafts, fundraisers, greeters

2020-03-03 07:24:04 PM sarahmarsh Still overwhelmed at the practicum. It's hard to meet with department heads
2020-03-03 07:24:11 PM sbarzak IT IS A LOT OF WORK- BUT REMEMBER WE ARE DOING THE WORK OURSELVES- SO USE SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE DONE- DONT RECREATE THE WHEEL
2020-03-03 07:24:16 PM erinm1 I like to print some of it out, then i can walk away from computer for a few
2020-03-03 07:24:23 PM briannal i agree sarah the practicum is A LOT of work!
2020-03-03 07:24:24 PM rsmale sbarzak I am taking notes
2020-03-03 07:24:35 PM jbar7729 wait, whats week 5 assignment ?I'm on week 12
