2013-05-08 05:16:59 PM jamiecraig did i miss something?
2013-05-08 05:17:05 PM dtkimble yes, I do know what you mean. Seems like we go over an above and someone has to find fault. I am planning on pulling some teeth.
2013-05-08 05:17:20 PM jamiecraig lol
2013-05-08 05:17:36 PM angel4aml18 week 14 assignment
2013-05-08 05:17:41 PM jamiecraig yeah
2013-05-08 05:17:43 PM dtkimble I printed out the scavenger hunt. Honestly, I haven't had much chance to do much with this weeks' assignments.
2013-05-08 05:18:12 PM jamiecraig me either just did the reading i always do that first then go from their
2013-05-08 05:18:16 PM dtkimble I printed out the survey. I guess we are to create one regarding activities. Sometimes these assignments seem a little sketych
2013-05-08 05:18:20 PM dtkimble sketchy
2013-05-08 05:19:00 PM jamiecraig o i see
2013-05-08 05:19:09 PM dtkimble So many interruptions during the day. I was promoted to the Activity Director and I am still learning this along with the class and am reliant on the Activity leader who was not promoted
2013-05-08 05:19:29 PM jamiecraig wow hows that going
2013-05-08 05:19:46 PM dtkimble so, it has been a bit of a wild ride. I think I will enjoy it in time...maybe after state surveyors come and go
2013-05-08 05:19:58 PM angel4aml18 question - are either of you going to get a pay increase with the completion of your certification?
2013-05-08 05:20:08 PM dtkimble it has been a tough transition
2013-05-08 05:20:32 PM jamiecraig no i will not we just got a pay freeze do to the sequester thank uncle sam
2013-05-08 05:20:38 PM dtkimble I will probably be on the 5 year plan...I have to take Mepap2 and some college courses
2013-05-08 05:21:29 PM angel4aml18 just curious - my facility told me when i was hired that there would be an increase but then we were taken over by another company and the new policy is no raise but i am going to try for it anyway!
2013-05-08 05:21:33 PM jamiecraig i will once our new building opens and i become a director though
2013-05-08 05:21:56 PM dtkimble I was offered 1.00 more /hour. I said that wasn't what I was thinking....so, I got $2.00 more / hour and am supposed to receive 2.00 more in July on my anniversary date. No one will be receiving cost of living raises in our facility....
2013-05-08 05:22:02 PM jamiecraig right now im just an assistant
2013-05-08 05:22:29 PM dtkimble for all of the responsibility and stress....I am grateful for a job...but not at $1.00 more per hour!
2013-05-08 05:22:34 PM angel4aml18 Dawn that isn't too shabby a $4 increase within a year
2013-05-08 05:22:43 PM dtkimble IF IT HAPPENS
2013-05-08 05:22:47 PM angel4aml18 true
2013-05-08 05:22:54 PM dtkimble I was so happy as an activity aide.
2013-05-08 05:22:58 PM jamiecraig what do yall make as an assistant i make 11.44 hr
2013-05-08 05:23:20 PM dtkimble I make 12.68 as a director
2013-05-08 05:23:28 PM jamiecraig i am too but i do more then my fair share most of the time
2013-05-08 05:23:41 PM angel4aml18 I am the Life Enrichment Coordinator right ow and just working on my certification to make it official i make a little over $17/hr
2013-05-08 05:23:58 PM jamiecraig that y im not worrie about the tital just yet
2013-05-08 05:24:13 PM dtkimble I think it is the nature of the business. There are so many pieces to the job.
2013-05-08 05:24:15 PM jamiecraig that what i think they will start me off at
2013-05-08 05:24:19 PM angel4aml18 we always do more than our fair share in our positions!
2013-05-08 05:24:44 PM jamiecraig right but your skates on and keep smiling
2013-05-08 05:24:59 PM dtkimble and there is the expectation to do more. I sometimes find that Activities Dept. gets handed many tasks that no one else wants.
2013-05-08 05:25:11 PM dtkimble But...WE DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
2013-05-08 05:25:41 PM dtkimble My strength is communication and dealing with staff.
2013-05-08 05:25:42 PM jamiecraig right clen this watch them help feed drive them here and get all your other stuff done too lol
2013-05-08 05:25:42 PM angel4aml18 true!
2013-05-08 05:26:12 PM angel4aml18 "you have to do paperwork? I thought you just played games all day"! I have heard that many times
2013-05-08 05:26:24 PM dtkimble we need tee shirts!
2013-05-08 05:26:25 PM jamiecraig me tooo
2013-05-08 05:27:21 PM dtkimble I had a resident today who told me how pleased she was with the way my staff handled a mishap with another resident on the bus. I thanked her profusely and said I would share this with my staff and management.
2013-05-08 05:27:53 PM jamiecraig thats what make the job worth while
2013-05-08 05:28:08 PM dtkimble We also had a dementia resident fall out of her chair yesterday and our dept. got blamed for it.
2013-05-08 05:28:13 PM angel4aml18 yes it is nice to pass along any positives we hear as many times staff only hear negatives and what they can do better
2013-05-08 05:28:28 PM jamiecraig right
2013-05-08 05:29:26 PM dtkimble I helped my best activity aide/cna write a statement. I expressed to the nurse manager that we always announce to the cottage aides when we return residents from an activity. She knows my aide and said that she would address the nursing staff with this.
2013-05-08 05:30:00 PM dtkimble sometimes...being brave enough to stand up and defend can be productive.
2013-05-08 05:30:14 PM dtkimble Biting the tongue also helps.
2013-05-08 05:30:51 PM jamiecraig i dont like it when i go get all resident for the even and when walking them bake a nurse and stna will sit at the station and not help walk fall risks back to the room it goes right though me
2013-05-08 05:31:10 PM jamiecraig back*
2013-05-08 05:31:28 PM angel4aml18 oh yes that happens a lot
2013-05-08 05:31:43 PM dtkimble the dementia unit is the place I find most difficult to deal with as far as the cottage aides go.
2013-05-08 05:32:01 PM angel4aml18 first shift helps but second shift are a totally different breed!
2013-05-08 05:32:17 PM jamiecraig ive been at stna for 9 year and i would get them all up and bring them down so they wouldnt keep putting on their call light from bordom
2013-05-08 05:32:18 PM dtkimble they sit....As busy as the AL and I are...we always help transport. I hate it when residents fall.
2013-05-08 05:32:52 PM jamiecraig me too
2013-05-08 05:33:28 PM dtkimble I returned one lady from an activity because she had a BM....I took her to the cottage and put my hand to my nose and told the CNA that Mrs. M needs help.
2013-05-08 05:33:43 PM angel4aml18 when residents rae involved it decreases behaviors in their rooms i.e. falling
2013-05-08 05:33:56 PM angel4aml18 *are
2013-05-08 05:34:05 PM dtkimble She had some towels she was putting away, did not immediately help the resident and she got up and slid to the floor. She did not want to sit in her BM...
2013-05-08 05:34:25 PM dtkimble Oh...I was SO MAD! I am not a CNA and I couldn't touch her to help her.

2013-05-08 05:35:11 PM dleonard enter the chat room
2013-05-08 05:35:31 PM dtkimble sorry. Didn't mean to vent. It is tough to try and fix lazy
2013-05-08 05:35:41 PM jamiecraig that would piss me off we have to be stna's to work in activities at our company but it does suck bc if i have a room full i can leave them to help a resident in the bathroom
2013-05-08 05:35:46 PM angel4aml18 it's a shame sometimes how they do not treat the residents as they would want to be treated when they are old and dependent
2013-05-08 05:36:42 PM dtkimble My CNA's can help toilet IF there is enough staff on the floor at the activity. I say toilet the resident before the activity...meaning the cottage aides should
2013-05-08 05:37:25 PM angel4aml18 it was very nice chatting with the two of you. Best of luck with the final few weeks!!
2013-05-08 05:37:29 PM jamiecraig we have an assistant who will not go to the residnts rooms and do their nail she says if they dont come to me then theyre not getting done i hope someone does that to her when she elderly
2013-05-08 05:37:50 PM dtkimble My CNA's don't work regularly with personal care for all of the residents in all of the neighborhoods. In the dementia unit the residents like their own caregivers.
2013-05-08 05:37:50 PM jamiecraig you too ttly
2013-05-08 05:37:56 PM dtkimble good night angel!
2013-05-08 05:38:03 PM dtkimble I hope I didn't scare you away!

2013-05-08 05:38:58 PM dtkimble we were chatting about Natl. Act. week for the final practicum assignment. I just got off the track.

2013-05-08 05:40:06 PM dtkimble I am also having a tea. I think it will be nice but I am concerned about having too many residents attend.
2013-05-08 05:40:17 PM 131570 Well for National nursing home week we are dedicating each day to a different country. Games, history food and wearing the colors of the country

2013-05-08 05:44:33 PM dtkimble What will your menu be?
2013-05-08 05:44:52 PM jamiecraig cooking is always comical bc i really dont know much but i think thats y i get such a good turn out bc i younge and they want to teach me i love that if not for my husbend wed starve or eat fast food lol
2013-05-08 05:45:10 PM jamiecraig yeah and their familys too
2013-05-08 05:45:12 PM dtkimble you are too funny!
2013-05-08 05:45:45 PM dtkimble That must cost a lot! Does your dietary staff give you a tough time about food?
2013-05-08 05:45:56 PM 131570 So I may have missed it but what do you ladies have planned for mother's day?
2013-05-08 05:46:44 PM dtkimble I have a straw hat craft planned, a high tea during the week and we will have gerber daisies wrapped in colored tissue paper for the dining room tables on campus
2013-05-08 05:46:55 PM 131570 cute!
2013-05-08 05:47:04 PM 131570 whats the straw hat craft like?

2013-05-08 05:48:21 PM dtkimble we bought big floppy hats from the dollar store with some fake flowers and fabric ribbon, butterflies so they can design their hat. We will use 2 for our tea centerpieces and the residents can hang them in their rooms or on their doors

2013-05-08 05:55:14 PM dtkimble I've got to get my final prac. under control. I am getting there though
2013-05-08 05:55:15 PM jamiecraig my advisor really like it so i guess that all that matters
2013-05-08 05:55:28 PM dtkimble I don't think it will be too difficult.
2013-05-08 05:55:41 PM 131570 lol. Me too. I wanted to do one of them a week up until the final week...that didn't happen
2013-05-08 05:56:21 PM dtkimble My advisor is in another building and has been going downstate as she is starting another company within our company. So it has been tough for support.
2013-05-08 05:56:30 PM 131570 yea most of them don't seem that bad. It's just a matter of getting to it
2013-05-08 05:56:34 PM dtkimble I replaced her as AD
2013-05-08 05:56:50 PM jamiecraig me too i just dont know about the continue education we went to a meusem and a resident taught a class on knitting but i think its weird to give a certificate of completion
2013-05-08 05:57:25 PM 131570 Yea that will probably be the main one I have trouble with considering everything about my population
2013-05-08 05:57:27 PM dtkimble or not going overboard like I have a few times....my fictional character drove everyone around me crazy
