2016-01-14 07:17:05 PM sharonrwaltz Good to know the differences in all of these titles.
2016-01-14 07:17:09 PM edrar we are small too, but have long waiting list
2016-01-14 07:17:14 PM kimberly1 thank you Kathy
2016-01-14 07:17:15 PM nancyzmc We've gone through the same thing susanb - I know how scary it can be
2016-01-14 07:17:16 PM degestrom that may keep your censes up though
2016-01-14 07:17:27 PM suzieb in Ohio the adds for directors always use recreational therapy as a qualifications for job postings.
2016-01-14 07:17:27 PM kathyhughes The regulations state that you are an Activities Director in spite of the degree that you have
2016-01-14 07:17:37 PM kathyhughes I know
2016-01-14 07:17:37 PM degestrom census that is
2016-01-14 07:17:44 PM reneebragg move to tn opening so many we have a lot

2016-01-14 07:17:57 PM adamreese our census this winter is much better than last year
2016-01-14 07:18:30 PM laurenmb Thats why I was asking, looking for jobs the tittles seem to be used interchangable....
2016-01-14 07:18:39 PM edrar We are filled. Our empty beds don't l;ast long
2016-01-14 07:18:41 PM reneebragg our census were down during the holidays but, we are back to 100%
2016-01-14 07:18:48 PM kathyhughes Right Lauren
2016-01-14 07:18:52 PM kathyhughes it is confusing
2016-01-14 07:18:58 PM degestrom ours was through the holidays also
2016-01-14 07:19:00 PM kathyhughes but the job is Activities
2016-01-14 07:19:04 PM laurenmb So would we qualify for a TRP?
2016-01-14 07:19:10 PM kathyhughes Nope
2016-01-14 07:19:26 PM kathyhughes Unless you took a 4 year course for RT
2016-01-14 07:19:29 PM edrar trp?
2016-01-14 07:19:32 PM reneebragg its a 4 year degree right kathy
2016-01-14 07:19:35 PM suzieb i wish we were I hate cutting staff hours for budget because it hurts the residents
2016-01-14 07:19:37 PM kathyhughes right
2016-01-14 07:19:45 PM laurenmb ??? ok but the position is essential an AD?
2016-01-14 07:19:51 PM sharonrwaltz The CTRS doesn't take four years, though, and that can really come in handy as a director. My Activity Director has hers.
2016-01-14 07:19:52 PM suzieb plus you have to pass a national therapeutic rec exam too
2016-01-14 07:19:55 PM kathyhughes Right
2016-01-14 07:19:59 PM sherrij our census is low
2016-01-14 07:20:09 PM kathyhughes Right
2016-01-14 07:20:24 PM susanb We had entertainment today and I had a resident dance with me she even put her head on my shoulder I would be lost without them
2016-01-14 07:20:29 PM sdoyle our admin is being creative to add more staff in act dep
2016-01-14 07:20:48 PM kathyhughes And if you look at the TR cirriculum they do not have courses for the elderly
2016-01-14 07:20:50 PM reneebragg great susan they love music
2016-01-14 07:20:57 PM sherrij I hired someone new this week.
2016-01-14 07:20:58 PM adamreese if I had to do it over I would have gotten RT degree instead of elm ed
2016-01-14 07:21:01 PM susanb I can't find anyone who wants to work
2016-01-14 07:21:01 PM degestrom our new admission director loves activities and is doing a lot for us

2016-01-14 07:22:46 PM kimberly1 It would be best to take the NCCAP exam as soon as we finish the course. Do you know if we go to a location to take it?
2016-01-14 07:22:53 PM kathyhughes But I wanted to be an Activity Director
2016-01-14 07:22:57 PM adamreese I was a teacher for 4 grade
