2014-02-12 07:01:02 PM brycegray Hello! I'm actually a "MRS" but don't worry about that! I just go by Bryce!
2014-02-12 07:01:13 PM duresaw thats why there's an extra credit
2014-02-12 07:01:13 PM brycegray Hello everyone! My name is Bryce and I am an ADN Consultant. Welcome to tonight’s chat.
2014-02-12 07:01:19 PM aleciathornton hello
2014-02-12 07:01:23 PM jeannette1978 hello bryce
2014-02-12 07:01:24 PM janice13 hello
2014-02-12 07:01:26 PM duresaw my bet sorry
2014-02-12 07:01:38 PM brycegray It's fine! No worries!
2014-02-12 07:01:39 PM duresaw Hello Bryce
2014-02-12 07:01:39 PM lizkanderson this chat doesn't count toward the five we have to do? I work 9a-9p nearly every Tuesday so the other chats are nearly impossible.
2014-02-12 07:02:02 PM duresaw this is the extra am I right Bryce?
2014-02-12 07:02:14 PM janice13 yes 50 points
2014-02-12 07:02:21 PM duresaw there was an extra credit for the week 5 though
2014-02-12 07:02:29 PM brycegray If you cant go to many of the Tuesday chats (whcih I suggest going to the best of your ability), the extra credit chats will definetly help you with the points needed for the class
2014-02-12 07:02:50 PM aleciathornton That's good!
2014-02-12 07:02:53 PM duresaw do as much extra credit as you can
2014-02-12 07:03:00 PM janice13 yes
2014-02-12 07:03:03 PM jeannette1978 that was my thought
2014-02-12 07:03:09 PM duresaw believe me it will help
2014-02-12 07:03:16 PM jeannette1978 I attend all chats I can
2014-02-12 07:03:22 PM sgentry left the chat room
2014-02-12 07:03:22 PM sgentry enter the chat room
2014-02-12 07:03:24 PM lizkanderson ok. I attended the second chat since I was able to take some time off work, but it still doesn't show up in my grades, so I'm not sure if I had to do something besides interacting with Kathy/classmates in the board.
2014-02-12 07:03:36 PM brycegray THis is extra credit, 50 points. THere are lots of extra credit courses each month (4-5 chats a month)
2014-02-12 07:03:52 PM janice13 it will show up later they are not all graded yet
2014-02-12 07:04:03 PM duresaw I am hoping for a perfect grade so lol
2014-02-12 07:04:29 PM duresaw Anyways, question for Bryce
2014-02-12 07:04:33 PM brycegray All chat attendance is submitted. DOn't worry if it doesn't show up for a while. Kathy knows and it will be added up towards the end of the class. Kathy is busy so the grade might not be reflecting the extra points you are actually recieving. Trust me - don't worry!
2014-02-12 07:04:43 PM jeannette1978 I attende one at the beginng of the my course that is still not on my grades either
2014-02-12 07:05:06 PM duresaw can we get the ADC and ACC at the same time?
2014-02-12 07:05:29 PM janice13 i don't know good question
2014-02-12 07:05:55 PM lindayoung1964 enter the chat room
2014-02-12 07:05:59 PM duresaw I wanted to do both
2014-02-12 07:06:14 PM brycegray Please feel free to email Kathy and say that you would just like to remind her that you attended your extra credit chat and that you don't see it posted yet.
2014-02-12 07:06:31 PM jeannette1978 okay thanks
2014-02-12 07:06:38 PM brycegray I can't say for sure DURESAW. Kathy is the expert on certifications, I would ask her in your next chat.
2014-02-12 07:06:45 PM duresaw I should start writing mine down too, just in case
2014-02-12 07:06:55 PM brycegray We are here to talk about the ADN website as well as using the internet as a resource. Let’s start off with any questions regarding the ADN website.

2014-02-12 07:12:50 PM brycegray Let’s transition over to using the internet as a free resource. Before we begin, I suggest opening up a word document so you can copy and paste the information/links I provide during this chat.

2014-02-12 07:29:22 PM brycegray The website I provided before is great for skilled/quarantined residents: http://voices.yahoo.com/room-visit-activity-ideas-nursing-home-volunteers-5155501.html
2014-02-12 07:29:25 PM duresaw I have 22 residents in memory care unit

2014-02-12 07:29:44 PM tonyap1 what is the topic
2014-02-12 07:29:50 PM dthompson I had trouble with the website at first to the point of frustration, but I am slowing getting with the program.
2014-02-12 07:30:25 PM brycegray We are talking about using the internet as a free resource
2014-02-12 07:30:33 PM lindayoung1964 usnews.com/usnews/biztech/articles/060619/19leader.htm
2014-02-12 07:30:42 PM jeannette1978 I brough around some but they are getting restless
2014-02-12 07:30:50 PM janice13 Bryce I have to say that the web site is set up well
2014-02-12 07:30:50 PM tonyap1 i love the intetnet
2014-02-12 07:30:53 PM dthompson I use a type of wheel of fortune and wordles and jokes really help in tense situations as does singing songs
2014-02-12 07:31:09 PM tonyap1 trivia is good to get off the internet
2014-02-12 07:31:11 PM duresaw sing a long is great
2014-02-12 07:31:17 PM brycegray did I provide that website?
2014-02-12 07:31:37 PM dbrewer are there free websites for music
2014-02-12 07:31:39 PM lindayoung1964 no it was for a weekly reading from kathy
2014-02-12 07:31:55 PM aleciathornton good ? dbrewer
2014-02-12 07:31:59 PM janice13 yes and you can also you tube some
2014-02-12 07:32:02 PM duresaw you might have to type it manually
2014-02-12 07:32:05 PM lizkanderson if your facility has closed circuit tv that has a broadcase channel that goes into every room, we signed up for a licensing agreement and can broadcast movies to any room that tunes in. We used that during quarantine.
2014-02-12 07:32:10 PM tonyap1 u tube is great
2014-02-12 07:32:24 PM janice13 yes it is
2014-02-12 07:32:28 PM dthompson I have a collection of CD's - most facilities are not high tech
2014-02-12 07:32:36 PM janice13 ask families to send some in
2014-02-12 07:32:37 PM brycegray Free large print sing along lyrics (classic oldies, christmas, gospel): http://melodicmemories.com/song-lyrics/

2014-02-12 07:32:38 PM aleciathornton our cds are soooo dated
2014-02-12 07:32:50 PM dbrewer thank you
2014-02-12 07:32:58 PM dthompson Try the used CD store
2014-02-12 07:33:25 PM duresaw this one is good bryece since my residents love to sing
2014-02-12 07:33:26 PM janice13 don't forgewt yard sales when the weather turns warm
2014-02-12 07:33:31 PM aleciathornton I would love to turn ALL of ours in. My residents are even tired of them. Some of them are interested in new genres as well
2014-02-12 07:33:31 PM janice13 forget
2014-02-12 07:34:01 PM tonyap1 so a fund raiser and let the residents make some items to sell
2014-02-12 07:34:04 PM lizkanderson i hold a cd swap every year with other local nursing homes. we trade the crap we're sick of. it's all new to them. we all love it.
2014-02-12 07:34:07 PM brycegray lindayoung1964... I will look into updating that website. Thanks for the heads up!
2014-02-12 07:34:17 PM dthompson Yes many different genres now plus my area is multi cultural
2014-02-12 07:34:22 PM aleciathornton thats a great idea!
2014-02-12 07:34:44 PM jeannette1978 nice I deA
2014-02-12 07:34:46 PM aleciathornton cutural diversity is great! especially introducing new activities
2014-02-12 07:34:48 PM duresaw I haven't have any problem with the websites so far
2014-02-12 07:34:56 PM brycegray Ideas for fundraisers: http://www.notjustbingo.com/articles-and-resources/how-to-articles/nursing-home-fundraisers.html
2014-02-12 07:35:00 PM janice13 if you have an ipod you can download music as well and play it on a radio
2014-02-12 07:35:12 PM lindayoung1964 thank you now I have to go read. haha
2014-02-12 07:35:29 PM duresaw use pandora
2014-02-12 07:35:35 PM brycegray Great ideas everyone!
2014-02-12 07:35:35 PM tonyap1 i am having a activities lunch next week and inviting all around director to swap ideas
2014-02-12 07:35:38 PM lindayoung1964 left the chat room
2014-02-12 07:35:40 PM janice13 yes i do
2014-02-12 07:35:58 PM duresaw I buy old cds for dancing
2014-02-12 07:36:03 PM tonyap1 Even from the senior centers
2014-02-12 07:36:13 PM duresaw great idea
2014-02-12 07:36:16 PM lizkanderson tonya. Tell them to bring their movies and cds. Swap them. You'll get amazing new selections, and all of your residents will have fresh material.
2014-02-12 07:36:32 PM janice13 if you can make copies for all of them
2014-02-12 07:36:39 PM tonyap1 that sounds like a great idea
2014-02-12 07:36:56 PM janice13 when we get music we make copies to keep out for the residents
2014-02-12 07:36:59 PM brycegray I have a dance off at my facility. I play classic oldies so that residents can show staff how to dance and I play newer (appropriate) music that staff can show residents how to dance. It really gets staff - other than activities - involved
2014-02-12 07:37:03 PM duresaw if you can find a store for use items its usually cheap like 1.99
2014-02-12 07:37:13 PM tonyap1 so excited my first meeting on my own
2014-02-12 07:37:19 PM aleciathornton that sounds fun
2014-02-12 07:37:30 PM duresaw true, i do dance off with the residents and staff
2014-02-12 07:37:34 PM duresaw they loved it
2014-02-12 07:37:49 PM ltimlin enter the chat room
2014-02-12 07:37:51 PM janice13 we have not done a dance off
2014-02-12 07:38:01 PM duresaw I am new to this field but I have good ideas to entertain them
2014-02-12 07:38:10 PM dthompson senior centers can be a great resourse - many of them have choirs that would love to come and sing at your facility or even line dancers or zumba dancers
2014-02-12 07:38:13 PM tonyap1 if you have cd's you don't want or need you can use them as an activity
2014-02-12 07:38:14 PM duresaw its good for active residents
2014-02-12 07:38:18 PM janice13 we are doing a interfacility dance in the spring
2014-02-12 07:38:23 PM dbrewer after these classes where is there a website to keep informed and get fresh ideas
2014-02-12 07:38:23 PM ltimlin Hi. Sorry I'm late. I'm at work again, waiting for the snow!!

2014-02-12 07:39:18 PM brycegray Keep fresh/informed: notjustbingo.com theactivitydirectorsoffice.com

2014-02-12 07:40:26 PM brycegray Ask Kathy, but I believe this site offers an alumni website (free of charge) to keep all of you in contact. It should offer ideas and resources
2014-02-12 07:40:27 PM tonyap1 i am starting fresh
2014-02-12 07:40:40 PM brycegray Available after you pass your course(s)

2014-02-12 07:41:13 PM dthompson The used movie store in a good resorce
2014-02-12 07:41:14 PM lizkanderson We do movie night every monday, and I find it really hard to find good ones. that aren't too long. Aren't sexual, violent, or bad language, not too childish. is there a good website for movie ideas?
