2013-04-30 06:15:48 PM brenda1945 We ordered Totes with Care Center logos and colors, picked up several goodies to stuff them with and will buy Pizza.
2013-04-30 06:15:48 PM 131570 Our DON is doing some things for nursing week...We usually have the residents write something nice thanking the nurses and put them up on the nurses station
2013-04-30 06:15:49 PM cyndeec and volunteers

2013-04-30 06:15:56 PM littlered14 assistant
2013-04-30 06:15:56 PM kathyhughes Especially when its 7 days a week and evenings
2013-04-30 06:15:58 PM alisonschneider1 i know i am run dry some days
2013-04-30 06:15:59 PM carlota36 In my company we do have to justify having an assistant, And we have one for the unit
2013-04-30 06:16:12 PM jamiecraig right kathy
2013-04-30 06:16:14 PM 112676 hello an volunteers
2013-04-30 06:16:32 PM lizmacinnes CNAs will help but it's usually just me the AD and assistants fill in for me on my days off.
2013-04-30 06:16:32 PM mdatlenko My director doesn't think nursing home week is a big deal--I disagree
2013-04-30 06:16:34 PM 29645 enter the chat room
2013-04-30 06:16:36 PM tclower I wish we had a person specific for the unit
2013-04-30 06:16:49 PM kathyhughes I would call around and see what staffing is like in the area for the other facilities
2013-04-30 06:16:58 PM lizmacinnes spreading myself too thin these days
2013-04-30 06:17:03 PM littlered14 The place I volunteer at can't hire an assistant AD until census is up. Its a new building is that normal?
2013-04-30 06:17:06 PM tamela50 i am blessed to have CNA and LPN help me get residents to activities
2013-04-30 06:17:13 PM tclower I am always trying to help out down there and they have their own activity program that changes every 30 mins during the day
2013-04-30 06:17:16 PM kathyhughes Yes it is
2013-04-30 06:17:18 PM bernlewis Social work internships are good for non-assistant assistants if you know what I mean
2013-04-30 06:17:26 PM tclower i have a few CNAs who help
2013-04-30 06:17:32 PM alisonschneider1 i have people volunteer to come in for an activity but i need help with 1 on 1, and all day mon and tues i am in care plan meeting and qa meetings. i need help getting other things accomplished as well
2013-04-30 06:17:36 PM tclower I am about to start a CNA reward program
2013-04-30 06:17:44 PM wellprepared85 I have a few CNAs that help as well
2013-04-30 06:17:53 PM carlota36 We do and omg it works wonderfuly having that person . However my unit person can only work 30hrs a week
2013-04-30 06:17:54 PM cyndeec we dont have the staff to do 1:1
2013-04-30 06:18:01 PM littlered14 What do AD's just starting out start out as salary wise per year?
2013-04-30 06:18:10 PM lizmacinnes all of our other facilities have assistants. the director doesn't even have to do hands on anymore she does all the back ground work. I'm the AD at my facility and I have to do both. I love being with the residents. I wouldn't have it any other way but everything else suffers at times
2013-04-30 06:18:10 PM amystewart How do we encourage cnas to help?
2013-04-30 06:18:11 PM alisonschneider1 the cnas where i am do nothing, it is really weird to me
2013-04-30 06:18:13 PM 131570 We wish CNA's would help more.....it is included in thier job description, but we rarely get much assistance
2013-04-30 06:18:13 PM dtkimble we acknowledge the help we get when that happens. Not as often as I'd like though
2013-04-30 06:18:17 PM 112676 that sounds nice rewards
2013-04-30 06:18:17 PM tclower ugh! I am always in meetings and now with super team and marketing too! and strive to thrive..I am always BUSY!
2013-04-30 06:18:19 PM brenda1945 I like the reward program
2013-04-30 06:18:20 PM nikibryant tell me about the reward program interested
2013-04-30 06:18:33 PM jamiecraig me too
2013-04-30 06:18:40 PM wellprepared85 I like that
2013-04-30 06:18:50 PM kathyhughes Salaries depend on a lot of circumstances
2013-04-30 06:18:51 PM carlota36 what it's it
2013-04-30 06:18:55 PM khurley2013 Help!~ best way to convince the administrator that a full time activities assistant is a must???
2013-04-30 06:18:56 PM motterjx its hard to get them to help and when i ask they just look at me which makes me not want to ask again
2013-04-30 06:19:02 PM 112676 we need more arms an legs lol
2013-04-30 06:19:08 PM tclower CNA bucks!
2013-04-30 06:19:11 PM nikibryant left the chat room
2013-04-30 06:19:14 PM angel4aml18 we do a staff appreciation project 1x/month where the residents make gift bags with trerats inside i.e. candy, cookies... and we put a little poem on the outside thanking them for their care and hard work
2013-04-30 06:19:15 PM bernlewis I used to have stme tasks done as part of a goup actiity prior to the week of the event
2013-04-30 06:19:20 PM mbmalone3 CNA bucks sounds great!
2013-04-30 06:19:29 PM tclower everytime I feel a CNA has earned a CNA buck I pass one out and they can redeem for prizes!
2013-04-30 06:19:30 PM kathyhughes First you check around to see what staffing is like in other facilities
2013-04-30 06:19:41 PM 131570 That's a great idea. I bet our cnas would help a lot more for something like that
2013-04-30 06:19:46 PM 112676 hay hay
2013-04-30 06:19:49 PM wellprepared85 Yes I feel that they only want to do their job and not have to do extra work. But we should work as a team.
2013-04-30 06:19:49 PM tclower I am about to start HG CNA Bucks!
2013-04-30 06:19:56 PM cyndeec AD salary depends on location experience, etc. I will get an increase when I get certified
2013-04-30 06:20:00 PM kathyhughes then you write a proposal on why you need more staff include the regulations FTAg248
2013-04-30 06:20:03 PM sharonbeseda enter the chat room
2013-04-30 06:20:09 PM amystewart I like the CNA bucks thats awesome
2013-04-30 06:20:10 PM 29645 I LIKE THE CNA BUCK IDEA MIGHT ENCOURAGE THEM TO HELP MORE OFTEN
2013-04-30 06:20:10 PM jamiecraig we do a raffle were we put their names in for a gift card everytime they help bring people down to activities
2013-04-30 06:20:18 PM lynnet dt - what else can I put in a gift bag for Mother's Day besides travel size lotion?
2013-04-30 06:20:20 PM bernlewis Keep a timed task log for yourself and present it
2013-04-30 06:20:20 PM brenda1945 Good idea Kathy
2013-04-30 06:20:21 PM sharonbeseda Finally here
2013-04-30 06:20:22 PM littlered14 Well what the average ball park for salaries? I am trying to see how it compares to my previous occupation.

2013-04-30 06:20:23 PM motterjx who provides the gifts for cna bucks?

2013-04-30 06:20:28 PM kathyhughes And make sure that you figure out what the ADM likes and motivates him/her
2013-04-30 06:20:29 PM jamiecraig then draw for it oncw a month
2013-04-30 06:20:30 PM dtkimble KH....at the Act. Assoc. meeting...I felt strange that I have much better staffing than the other facilities
