2015-02-26 06:51:27 PM kathyhughes How are you doing?
2015-02-26 06:51:52 PM tbostic Hi everyone. Hope you all are well
2015-02-26 06:52:01 PM kathyhughes I am doing great!
2015-02-26 06:52:09 PM kathyhughes Getting ready for Spring!
2015-02-26 06:52:34 PM tbostic Absolutely-snowing again right now :(
2015-02-26 06:53:07 PM kathyhughes Well we only have a few more weeks and soon we will have the Spring sunshine
2015-02-26 06:53:15 PM kathyhughes Although I do like winter
2015-02-26 06:53:35 PM tbostic I'm SO ready for warm weather...
2015-02-26 06:53:51 PM kathyhughes I am sure it is right around the corner
2015-02-26 06:54:14 PM kathyhughes at least here in NY it might be a couple of months
2015-02-26 06:54:33 PM tbostic True...
2015-02-26 06:54:51 PM kathyhughes How are the classes going? Almost done!
2015-02-26 06:56:29 PM tbostic Yes, I've really enjoyed it. I'm actually going to miss this experience! I've learned so much, and it's really been a huge help at work
2015-02-26 06:57:10 PM kathyhughes I know and its always amazing how fast the classes actually go.....I am glad that you enjoyed it
2015-02-26 06:57:25 PM kathyhughes Will you be ready for certification?
2015-02-26 06:57:37 PM richelle70 enter the chat room
2015-02-26 06:57:42 PM tbostic Yes, I'm planning on it
2015-02-26 06:57:50 PM kathyhughes Hello Richelle
2015-02-26 06:57:56 PM kathyhughes How are you doing?
2015-02-26 06:58:18 PM richelle70 Good trying to stay warm.
2015-02-26 06:58:48 PM kathyhughes Yes.....but Spring is right around the corner
2015-02-26 06:58:57 PM kathyhughes Thats great Teresa
2015-02-26 06:59:09 PM tbostic I'm pretty excited
2015-02-26 06:59:35 PM kathyhughes You know that you have to apply first and NCCAP will send you the info for the test
2015-02-26 07:00:03 PM tbostic Right-but I'm not sure how early I need to apply?
2015-02-26 07:00:11 PM kathyhughes as soon as you can
2015-02-26 07:00:32 PM tbostic Okay, I'll get started on that. Thanks
2015-02-26 07:00:43 PM kathyhughes once you complete the MEPAP classes you can apply and then they will let you take the test
2015-02-26 07:01:08 PM tbostic So, it's a pretty quick process then?
2015-02-26 07:01:38 PM kathyhughes I think that they will let you know once you have applied....it may take a few weeks
2015-02-26 07:01:53 PM richelle70 Yes it is. Having trouble finding Michigan States regulations for activities. My employer states we go by the interperative guidelines. Can I write my report on those or should I keep looking?
2015-02-26 07:02:00 PM kathyhughes It sure takes me some time to complete the final grades for the classes
2015-02-26 07:02:37 PM kathyhughes There are regulations for MI.....but yes you can use the federal ones
2015-02-26 07:02:55 PM kathyhughes did you google search them?

2015-02-26 07:15:42 PM ssmyth enter the chat room
2015-02-26 07:15:43 PM marym LOL
2015-02-26 07:16:02 PM kathyhughes but some folks won't let residents drink adult beverages
2015-02-26 07:16:11 PM ssmyth left the chat room
2015-02-26 07:16:11 PM richelle70 That sound good. We allow are residents to drink regular water at bedside if they are on thickened water.
2015-02-26 07:16:43 PM richelle70 oops thickened liquids at meals. Need to read before hitting send.
2015-02-26 07:16:50 PM kathyhughes Its amazing that years ago we did not have to worry about that....and residents did just fine
2015-02-26 07:17:10 PM marym I am not sure that something I would want to do
2015-02-26 07:17:16 PM tomilee i have a few familys that bring wine to dinner sometimes
2015-02-26 07:17:24 PM kathyhughes can you imagine being thirsty and being given something that is thick
2015-02-26 07:17:37 PM tbostic it would be terrible
2015-02-26 07:17:53 PM kathyhughes Oh heck I hope my family brings in the box of wine ready to go!
2015-02-26 07:17:54 PM tomilee she wont drink it at all
2015-02-26 07:18:05 PM tomilee with a straw
2015-02-26 07:18:11 PM marym OMG
2015-02-26 07:18:13 PM tomilee my own little juice box
2015-02-26 07:18:17 PM kathyhughes LOL
2015-02-26 07:18:30 PM kathyhughes Okay there would be ways to hide it!
2015-02-26 07:19:06 PM kathyhughes I am sure that some residents know how to get away with some things
2015-02-26 07:19:13 PM marym Do you need a doctors order to do that?
2015-02-26 07:19:27 PM kathyhughes depends on your facility
2015-02-26 07:19:43 PM tomilee kathy i see that you all offer a care plan course
2015-02-26 07:19:47 PM kathyhughes we had it so the Docs would write if they could not have alcohol
2015-02-26 07:19:57 PM kathyhughes we do
2015-02-26 07:20:06 PM marym WOW I need that doctor
2015-02-26 07:20:06 PM nancy60 what's new? had to take a phone call. my grandson who is 2 has to have retina surgery. Detached retina.
2015-02-26 07:20:07 PM richelle70 We require an order for alcohol
2015-02-26 07:20:09 PM kimlin enter the chat room
2015-02-26 07:20:10 PM tomilee i still am not comforable with care plans
2015-02-26 07:20:22 PM kathyhughes Hello Kim
2015-02-26 07:20:27 PM kimlin Hello Everyone
2015-02-26 07:20:34 PM marym Hey
2015-02-26 07:20:43 PM tomilee some times i feel it is just me, I have a fear of not putting the right things in them or wording them wrong
2015-02-26 07:20:44 PM kimlin Hello Kathy
2015-02-26 07:20:55 PM nancy60 I'm learning have to sign off on interdisciplinary plans. Paperwork.......
2015-02-26 07:21:05 PM nancy60 hi kimlin
2015-02-26 07:21:08 PM kathyhughes You have to think about care plans as a tool to help the residents acheive what they want to do
2015-02-26 07:21:25 PM kathyhughes and sometimes we put too much thought about them
2015-02-26 07:21:28 PM kimlin Hello nancy
2015-02-26 07:21:34 PM kimlin Hello Nancy
2015-02-26 07:21:40 PM nancy60 i've had a hard time motivating my patients in the geriatric unit (mental health)
2015-02-26 07:22:10 PM tomilee our system has a premade type of care plan but I really dont like most of the things in them
2015-02-26 07:22:14 PM nancy60 So many have dementia
2015-02-26 07:22:28 PM kathyhughes You have to find out what would motivate each individual
2015-02-26 07:22:31 PM tomilee we are able to type in what we want but im not real sure of myself
2015-02-26 07:22:59 PM kathyhughes You have to be confident in meeting the needs and interests of the residents
2015-02-26 07:22:59 PM marym I break it down like - what they like - what are we going to do for them and who we will do it.
2015-02-26 07:23:06 PM nancy60 tomilee, I agree with you. I have an activity assessment that has leisure activities that we cannot even do. Why don't they let the people doing the jobs write the assessments?
2015-02-26 07:23:46 PM tomilee my assessment is pre done to by corp. and we all use the same
2015-02-26 07:23:49 PM kathyhughes Motivating residents can be a challenge
2015-02-26 07:24:00 PM nancy60 Same here.
2015-02-26 07:24:12 PM tbostic We use pre-printed care plans too. It's hard to make them resident specific
2015-02-26 07:24:22 PM kathyhughes and most of those assessments do not reflect the specific needs and interests of the residents
2015-02-26 07:24:44 PM marym I agree
2015-02-26 07:24:52 PM kathyhughes as the people developing them do not know that much about quality of life
2015-02-26 07:24:56 PM tomilee we use a sytem called AHT and everything is in there
2015-02-26 07:25:08 PM kathyhughes they are all care givers and medically oriented
2015-02-26 07:25:11 PM kimlin It is difficult using care plans for me too
2015-02-26 07:25:29 PM nancy60 I guess we taylor them the best we can. I'm working in a mental health facility where we see people for a week or month at a time. I'm thinking of finding a new job at a rehab or assisted living facility. Kind of scary, change.....
