2016-05-24 06:23:06 PM wildmc00 How is everyone doing with Mid=term Practium I went and visited another building it was awesome to see a different point of view...
2016-05-24 06:23:09 PM mescuriola amorales, do you live in miami
2016-05-24 06:23:15 PM sashavowell i need to figure out how to get volunteers
2016-05-24 06:23:16 PM angiepenn7 It's just myself & 1 CNA for about 65 people. Very different function levels too! It's very hard becuase I am required in a lot of meetings and care plans, plus I am the bus driver (Transportation is split between 2 buildings & is often busy at the sister facility.) If my CNA takes time off or is suspended (happened once!) then I have to come in on my days off & cover them. Plus my paperwork & meeting inputs. It's very overwelming & often there is little support from other departments.
2016-05-24 06:23:18 PM csesteaga amorales i need a assistand here in Arizona
2016-05-24 06:23:19 PM ashxeve Thats awesome! Dedication pays off! Congrats on your spot!

2016-05-24 06:23:43 PM amorales yes i live in miami
2016-05-24 06:23:50 PM amorales wow in Arizona lol
2016-05-24 06:23:52 PM angiepenn7 Our building is 40% psych. So it is very challenging to find volunteers that can handle it & stay.
2016-05-24 06:23:55 PM ashxeve Advertise for your volunteers by spreading the word. reach out to your community like schools or banks and church.
2016-05-24 06:23:56 PM isabel1 thanks ms kathy. i guess they see how dedicated i am in what i am doing so... just like my dedication to finish this course on time, though some assignments are late.

2016-05-24 06:24:40 PM dianed72 We have to have 7 days a week activities and always have someone on our memory care unit.

2016-05-24 06:25:12 PM angiepenn7 I had quite a few volunteers move or quit. It's very hard to fill the gap!
2016-05-24 06:25:13 PM wildmc00 Remember you still need to pass 3.0 MDS activities section F
2016-05-24 06:25:14 PM kathyhughes You can get credit...1/2

2016-05-24 06:27:32 PM angiepenn7 State will look for 7 days of activities, or ask what is being done for the residents in those times. If the staff is supportive, CNAs are capable of covering it by having movies or cards, music, etc on hand so that it is available to the residents. It often depends on the level of care
2016-05-24 06:27:33 PM salinass we work 8-5 weekdays and weekends
