2014-09-14 06:03:31 PM slim9 the email did say to use the open discussion tab, correct
2014-09-14 06:03:31 PM kellya Well here I am. Kathy said she wouldn't be here as per her email but we're supposed to soldier on. where is everybody?
2014-09-14 06:03:41 PM kellya Yep!
2014-09-14 06:04:12 PM slim9 im not sure...soe people come later
2014-09-14 06:04:13 PM kellya We'll give 'em a few minutes to show up! :)
2014-09-14 06:05:30 PM kellya Yes. The email tells us to go to the "Open Discussion Room to chat amoungst ourselves . . . "
2014-09-14 06:06:20 PM slim9 hows class going for you....what type of facility do you work in
2014-09-14 06:06:27 PM kellya Ok slim9, what did you do this week?
2014-09-14 06:07:36 PM kellya I volunteer at an ALZ/Assisted Living facility. I am a CNA but right now am working in transport for the Hospice that I also CNA for ; cross training. I am a musician and have played piano and sang to elders for over 15 years.
2014-09-14 06:08:06 PM slim9 besides major paper work and homework... wow thats awesome
2014-09-14 06:08:27 PM kellya Yes, it is in my soul! HA!
2014-09-14 06:09:04 PM kellya Where do you work?
2014-09-14 06:09:07 PM slim9 every time I read or do research for homework I go back to work and look at my residents differently..sympathetically
2014-09-14 06:09:49 PM slim9 I work at a LTC facilty
2014-09-14 06:11:35 PM kellya L T C. WHat's that?
2014-09-14 06:12:17 PM slim9 should we start a private chat? long term care (nursing home)
2014-09-14 06:13:53 PM slim9 her email stated that we should use this discussion for our practicum assignment...do you agree
2014-09-14 06:14:45 PM kellya Oh this is fine really. Others might show up. I am currently "sizing up" places in Las VEgas where I want to apply for an Activities position. Nurs
2014-09-14 06:14:59 PM kellya Nursing homes look like a real challenge.
2014-09-14 06:16:24 PM slim9 im trying to schedule different activitiees that will keep their interest... however within the last year there has been a real mental decline in most of the ones that were "really with it".
2014-09-14 06:18:23 PM slim9 nursing homes are challenging..but it can be done. youve got to have the energy and stamina to keep up with them...and the ability to change direction in order to keep down their aggravation
2014-09-14 06:18:40 PM kellya YEs. The same is true where I volunteer. The makeup of the people is constantly changing so we have to re-evaluate alot. I think the main thing is activities that help the person to not feel forgotten.
2014-09-14 06:19:20 PM kellya Sounds like you've been in the trenches a while. DO you have staff or some kind of help?
2014-09-14 06:23:08 PM slim9 not really...ive been doing the job since march, however i have not been fficially given the position its just myself, @40 hours one assistant @32 and one @23 hours
2014-09-14 06:25:11 PM kellya What's your resident population?
2014-09-14 06:25:36 PM slim9 administration wants more activities on our alheimers unit and more even hours on the other units, our staffing turnover is bad. census 58
2014-09-14 06:25:55 PM slim9 22 of them are on the secure unit
2014-09-14 06:27:29 PM kellya Staffing turnover bad meaning it turns over a lot?
2014-09-14 06:28:01 PM slim9 we provide a fair amount of one on ones for that unit..and like i said there is such a decline on the othr unit we're starting to care plan for more one on ones for them
2014-09-14 06:28:48 PM kellya Yeah, one on ones are great but how many can you do in a day?
2014-09-14 06:29:35 PM slim9 we might as well have a revolving door to get into the facility...new employees dont stay long...and the ones that have been there forever dont do alot
2014-09-14 06:31:28 PM kellya Do the employees get burned out?
2014-09-14 06:32:03 PM slim9 @ 15-20 minutes a piece maybe 8-10....many are 1:1 3times a week and then we have our mid day group
2014-09-14 06:33:42 PM slim9 they're disgruntled....and I get that. they are tired of working short..and tired of training people..its almost a neveer ending bad dream
2014-09-14 06:33:51 PM kellya Thabks for the inof about one on ones. TThat's good to know. It gives a good idea about it; time wize.
2014-09-14 06:34:40 PM kellya SOunds bad. How do you keep going?
2014-09-14 06:35:25 PM slim9 when your full staffed you could probably do a few more...however theres so much more that youve got to get done in the day
2014-09-14 06:36:37 PM kellya Woiuld more staff help you? What about getting volunteers and/or family involved?
2014-09-14 06:37:42 PM slim9 on my off days i copletely melt down....im too tired to go or do anything..and then with school, kids and hubby...i dont really know...except that I really love my job...Ifeel like if im not there... the residents needs will go unfulfilled
2014-09-14 06:39:48 PM kellya You sound like a Hero! My Wife and I don't have kids but we do have 6 Dogs and 6 Cats. I play in a band that is busy with Events; writing and recording music and now this CLass! Whew.
2014-09-14 06:40:02 PM slim9 the familys dont come...and the volunteers are far and few between....we cant even keep a hairdresser on staff..i had to make it an activity outing so the can go to the nearest "clip and curl". tht does even help with our ethnic population
2014-09-14 06:41:55 PM kellya Too bad about the families and Volunteers. I guess you can't make 'em come. Maybe you could reach out to the schools and get students who need some extra credit or some kind of project for their schooling?
2014-09-14 06:42:18 PM slim9 ok...talk about burning the candle at both ends...we just lost our first pet..Roger (guinea pig) now there just princess(kitten) and Rex(pup)
2014-09-14 06:44:18 PM kellya Yeah we lost a Cat a few weeks back. She was really old and had wasted away to nothing. She disappeared on the day I was gonna put her down. I guessed she was under the house and yes she was. I crawled under there to get her. That was lots of fun. Not!
2014-09-14 06:44:44 PM slim9 we are partnered with the boys and girls club of america...however they still need to be supervised...im trying to set uo an education course for the resdents in our area and people appear to be reluctant to participate
2014-09-14 06:45:51 PM kellya Well that must be frustrating to say the least. What about Church youth groups?
2014-09-14 06:47:39 PM slim9 ss. life expectancy for G.P. is 5-6 years,, so about a month ago my youngst comes home w/kitten..I ssaid really? he said mom im just preparing for the inevitable. I said are you now....and the poor thing died 2 wks ago
2014-09-14 06:48:54 PM slim9 we only get the youth around the holidays...Im trying to look for groups that have to do community service....but its real hard
2014-09-14 06:49:13 PM kellya Yes, pets lives are generally short and that is painful but that's life. Death is inescapeable.
2014-09-14 06:49:44 PM kellya Do you live in a small town?
2014-09-14 06:53:19 PM slim9 well sorta we are surrounded by alot of townships that appear to do their own thing but when it all comes down to it were in the same town...does that make since?
2014-09-14 06:54:37 PM kellya Yes. I live in a small town outside Vegas so there's not alot of opportunity but I will be looking for work in Vegas which is way larger.
2014-09-14 06:57:04 PM slim9 that sounds nice...hey its great talking to you...not sure we realy accomplished anything, but its nice to know your not in this alone...goodnight
2014-09-14 06:57:51 PM kellya Great talking to you too. Have a good week!

2014-09-16 06:19:40 PM tamialfonso i did xtra credit for wk 5 (?) and am looking at wk 11.
2014-09-16 06:19:53 PM lisao I am in week 11 and freaking out cuz I am 2 weeks behind - is anyone else behind?
2014-09-16 06:20:07 PM sheminger what you mean behind?
2014-09-16 06:20:37 PM tamialfonso did you take the final? why do you say thaT? would be good...
2014-09-16 06:20:42 PM jean1 I agree about the final being easier. Not sure if it is truly "easier" or just that I feel more confident.
