2016-03-31 05:47:51 PM sharonrwaltz Hi, Kathy! Enjoying some time off work. I was just looking for songs to use for that promotional video we're discussing in the discussion forum.

2016-03-31 05:49:25 PM sharonrwaltz Yes! There are so many great modern options, but I'm leaning toward a new rendition of In The Mood. It's a recognizable classic and a song the residents love.
2016-03-31 05:49:30 PM kathyhughes Hello Tracy
2016-03-31 05:49:58 PM kathyhughes Yes it is a great song...I enjoy swing music

2016-03-31 05:54:06 PM reneebragg I need help on studying for the Mepap2 final when we have it in 3 weeks. I am a 56 year old and haven't done great on any of them. I do like the way the NCCAP has a study guide so, I freak myself out on this open book stuff. I re-read threw everything but, can't remember all of it.
2016-03-31 05:55:30 PM kathyhughes You will do fine, think of it as a practice for the National Exam.....I don't test well either. Remember that for the class you have extra credit assignments that help
2016-03-31 05:55:34 PM reneebragg I am not good at tricky questions and over think the questions. Please help me learn how to study for this I want to do better score

I work in a skilled facility.... so lots of admits and discharges... is there a regulation that requires us to make a discharge note on short stay residents? I know we currently do at my facility but I didn't know what all the note needed to say.

2016-03-31 06:07:06 PM khovey Hi!
2016-03-31 06:07:12 PM sharonrwaltz We did discharge notes until the new administrator said that it was double documenting since social work and nursing already do them.
2016-03-31 06:07:13 PM melsue93 thank you Kathy! what is another eligible component?
2016-03-31 06:07:20 PM rose48mary yes what
2016-03-31 06:07:23 PM ashleyd They even have us write "will recommend activity as tolerated upon discharge." I'm not sure how I feel about that considering I am not a therapist. lol I guess it just depends on how you look at it.

2016-03-31 06:12:35 PM ashleyd I know, I read it. I guess I need to read it in the forum. Thats probably why I was confused.
2016-03-31 06:12:37 PM edrar if we flunk the exam and have to redo it 2 times and if not then come back to you. do we do the whole course over
2016-03-31 06:12:41 PM kathyhughes The form is posted in the upper right hand corner of the post and in the download forms

2016-03-31 06:18:37 PM nancyzmc I'm hoping I'll enjoy being a Director as much as an Activities therapist - a lot of back biting where I work among the department heads
