2013-05-28 05:36:43 PM kathyhughes How are yuo doiing?
2013-05-28 05:37:39 PM kathyhughes welcome to the chat
2013-05-28 05:37:55 PM chustead I'm great busy! I was so happy to see that there were assignments for week #5 I will be out of town and that is a great help.
2013-05-28 05:38:18 PM kathyhughes you are welcome
2013-05-28 05:38:40 PM kathyhughes I am headed out of town too! Hope you are going on a great trip
2013-05-28 05:39:09 PM chustead I wanted to ask on the week #5 assignment what inital assessment do we review?
2013-05-28 05:39:32 PM kathyhughes Your Initial assessment that you do with your residents
2013-05-28 05:39:48 PM kathyhughes Do you do a seperate one?
2013-05-28 05:40:57 PM kathyhughes That would be the assessment that you are to review
2013-05-28 05:41:06 PM chustead I'm going to watch my niece graduate, and my sister from Virginia will be there too. It's been three years since we have seen each other.
2013-05-28 05:41:29 PM kathyhughes That is great! Have a super time and enjoy Virginia!
2013-05-28 05:41:57 PM chustead Do we do more than one assessment?
2013-05-28 05:42:41 PM kathyhughes Well there is the MDS 3.0 and then the Activities Assessment where you find out what the residents like to do for activities
2013-05-28 05:43:13 PM chustead We have recently changed to computer charting in our building so many of the assessments are slightly dirfferent.
2013-05-28 05:44:04 PM chustead The MDS is the same,but our admission assessments look different now.
2013-05-28 05:44:08 PM kathyhughes I know that computer systems have an assessment...maybe you should develop one that will let you know what the residents are interested in
2013-05-28 05:44:20 PM kathyhughes Can you copy the computer assessment?
2013-05-28 05:45:17 PM chustead Yes, I can.
2013-05-28 05:46:08 PM kathyhughes then do that and see if the assessment comply's with FTag248 and lets you and your staff know the specific interests and needs of the residents
2013-05-28 05:46:54 PM chustead I just had one other question about the flash card assignment, how many cards and words, pictures?
2013-05-28 05:47:17 PM chustead Thank you Kathy this is very helpful.
2013-05-28 05:47:18 PM kathyhughes they are the flashcards to assist residents in answering the MDS 3.0
2013-05-28 05:47:25 PM kathyhughes You are welcome

2013-05-28 06:05:44 PM ss1325 i don't think my facility will allow me to scan a copy of the assessment we use.
2013-05-28 06:05:47 PM letroces4 im still trying to master how to navigate my way around the online course website.. hehe.. but it will all be worth it

2013-05-28 06:06:04 PM kathyhughes why Sara?
2013-05-28 06:06:10 PM nvite664 If its a blank copy why dont
2013-05-28 06:06:14 PM krkurth ok just a couple questions, for the interfaculity part my facility does not have a van, we do not do outtings...and i havent had any luck with inviting local facilities...everyone is very busy..what should i do for this?
2013-05-28 06:06:31 PM nvite664 oops should have said why not lol
2013-05-28 06:06:38 PM cmzeitler I understand.. I am getting a lot of ideas too. This week I'm really excited about with the topic being sensory as I do think this is an area we need to grow
2013-05-28 06:06:40 PM ss1325 i haven't asked yet but i haven't been getting very much support from facility. its kinda like they don't want to know.
2013-05-28 06:06:43 PM kathyhughes Kristen do you have a facility that can come and visit
2013-05-28 06:06:54 PM slf0038 The dept of health due at our facility any day. After I read those sample defiencies it made me so nervous!
2013-05-28 06:07:02 PM kathyhughes Or do you have Internet Access?
2013-05-28 06:07:19 PM krkurth I am trying to get one just worried if i cant get one in time....i do have internet access..
2013-05-28 06:07:56 PM kathyhughes You can ask a fellow student to Skype a session with your residents...that would be something unique
2013-05-28 06:08:04 PM carlota36 We are in the open window. and this being my first time doing this job i am super nervious, so i get it totally get it
2013-05-28 06:08:12 PM chustead Our window for survey just opened up also, I have alot of work to do to get ready. It's nice to actually get some real training and learn ways to make the programs better for the residents.
2013-05-28 06:08:21 PM kathyhughes and you could set up a trivia contest between the two of you
2013-05-28 06:08:42 PM nvite664 that is a good idea a trivia contest
2013-05-28 06:08:45 PM carlota36 i agree
2013-05-28 06:08:46 PM krkurth hmm i could try that...that was my idea! have like a jeopardy or something for the residents to compete!
2013-05-28 06:08:47 PM kathyhughes Its good to know what the surveyors are looking for
2013-05-28 06:09:09 PM nvite664 ours will be here any day we thought they would have been here already
2013-05-28 06:09:27 PM kate9 We're in the same boat at my facility. Any day now....
2013-05-28 06:09:28 PM kathyhughes Right Kristen,....anyone in MEPAP1 -05 class want to Skype with Krsitens residents for your Inter-Facility Event????
2013-05-28 06:09:37 PM bernlewis I'm having trouble with the interfacility event because we only have one department thts located inside of a church. Maybe I could plan a friendship activity to share with them or something with encourageing bookmarks I don't know:'/
2013-05-28 06:09:37 PM brenda1945 We are expecting them any day as well.....

2013-05-28 06:10:39 PM deedabbler Hello
2013-05-28 06:10:40 PM chustead It's scarys me alittle bit though. I just hope I'm ready. I've been so busy with class, work ,and family. There just arn't enough hours in the day.
2013-05-28 06:10:52 PM krkurth dleonard that would be awesome! ill go into work tomorrow and make sure i can set it up, it shouldnt be a problem!
2013-05-28 06:10:55 PM slf0038 We do auction dollars for bingo and games. Then they bid with the money they earned. It helps with the budget using play money.
2013-05-28 06:11:01 PM kathyhughes Debbie...then get together with Kristen...even though you are in seperate classes you can chat here and set it up

2013-05-28 06:11:22 PM letroces4 i have a question kathy, our resident council log book for this year has an empty january, i do not know what happened to resident council that time as i came in only last month. I am afraid state will check on that and ask why nothing has been documented on the january
2013-05-28 06:11:33 PM dleonard I will do that.
2013-05-28 06:11:37 PM brenda1945 We are half way there....soon we will finished......

2013-05-28 06:12:02 PM slf0038 They only usually ask for three months from me. U should be ok.
2013-05-28 06:12:10 PM krkurth dleonard my email is kristenkurth@gmail.com
2013-05-28 06:12:13 PM kathyhughes Elizabeth...they will have to check with the ADM you are not responsible for anything that happened when yuo weren't three
2013-05-28 06:12:22 PM brenda1945 I get nervious, test, survey, yadayadayada
2013-05-28 06:12:24 PM carlota36 they can smell fear
2013-05-28 06:12:25 PM kate9 Yes, I think that 3 months worth of minutes is standard for state surveys.
2013-05-28 06:12:25 PM kathyhughes Believe me....you aren't
2013-05-28 06:12:31 PM bernlewis to all: there are a lot of great people with the ad network who are so willing to help
2013-05-28 06:12:40 PM nvite664 Oh yes they can.......
2013-05-28 06:12:44 PM cmzeitler Letroces4- ask your Social Services or Administrator about the January notes but usually they go back 3 months you will probably be ok
2013-05-28 06:12:49 PM kathyhughes Right....the ADN world is full of folks
2013-05-28 06:13:09 PM carlota36 i love it
2013-05-28 06:13:09 PM deedabbler They usually ask for 3 but even if they ask for more you were not there.
2013-05-28 06:13:13 PM dleonard Kristen, mine is dblnrd@hotmail.com
2013-05-28 06:13:24 PM letroces4 thats good... our window is coming up
2013-05-28 06:13:31 PM ss1325 i know inservice meetings count as CEUs but what about when i have to read an inservice and sign my name... does that count?
2013-05-28 06:13:34 PM 29645 1945 WHEN I HAVE A TEST I ALWAYS GET A BRAIN FART AND FORGET EVERY THING ITS SO BAD I ACTUALLY GET A SICK STOMACH SO I NO WHERE YOUR COMING FROM

2013-05-28 06:14:01 PM slf0038 Does anyone else butt heads with nursing??
2013-05-28 06:14:15 PM kathyhughes If the inservice person signs off that you did it yes
2013-05-28 06:14:18 PM deedabbler absolutely 38
2013-05-28 06:14:25 PM carlota36 i dont but how about HR
2013-05-28 06:14:32 PM nvite664 depends who is on and what kind of day they are having
2013-05-28 06:14:43 PM 29645 0038 EVERYDAY LOL
2013-05-28 06:14:44 PM letroces4 not much with nursing... once in awhile
2013-05-28 06:14:44 PM ss1325 yea surveys don't scare me too much but then again im only an assistant but the surveyors are human and if you're doing your job then there shouldn't be a problem and if you make an honest mistake then you'll learn something!

2013-05-28 06:15:00 PM chustead I'm just glad I know what I have to fix now. I tok the job with little to no training from an Ad who did nothing for the residents. I know I'm doing better than she did. I actually care about what the job and want to succeed
2013-05-28 06:15:03 PM letroces4 amen 1325...
2013-05-28 06:15:18 PM letroces4 we do our job then we will be okay....
2013-05-28 06:15:20 PM kathyhughes Hello Sharon and Amy
2013-05-28 06:15:25 PM carlota36 i feel you
2013-05-28 06:15:26 PM catejuvenal Not yet, however I noticed a resident with severe finger nail fungus and said something to a care giver so I am not sure if the nursing staff will appreciate it
2013-05-28 06:15:32 PM deedabbler It is very hard at this facility to get nursing to even help take residents to an activity at an old place that wasn't a problem
2013-05-28 06:15:33 PM ss1325 thanks kathy... who usually signs off or gives these certificates of attendance? administrator?
2013-05-28 06:15:37 PM krkurth i sometimes have a problems with the aides, they can be disrepectful and loud during an activity that requires quiet so the residents can hear
2013-05-28 06:15:40 PM slf0038 Im glad to know Im not the only one. I wish they would see we are on the same team for the residents!

2013-05-28 06:16:01 PM chustead They might not like it,but it's better to bring issues to thier attention.
2013-05-28 06:16:08 PM ss1325 hmm okay thank you!
2013-05-28 06:16:19 PM kathyhughes Hello Kristina
2013-05-28 06:16:26 PM sharonbeseda Hello
2013-05-28 06:16:29 PM meister77 hello
2013-05-28 06:16:39 PM deedabbler I don't understand why they don't bring them, it means less work for them and if they have fun then the rest of the day goes better for everyone
2013-05-28 06:16:49 PM letroces4 deedabbler: i have the same problem, we do 2 activities at one point in the day, one for high functioning and one for low functioning and no CNA will even just sit in the room and supervise while i get the residents, so it gets hard sometimes...
2013-05-28 06:16:54 PM kathyhughes Sometimes (ok most of the time) Nursing is totally unaware of what you do and how they impact the activities
2013-05-28 06:16:56 PM taylorp left the chat room
2013-05-28 06:17:07 PM taylorp enter the chat room
2013-05-28 06:17:15 PM carlota36 i think the same thing i even offered them treats when we have our cooking class

2013-05-28 06:17:26 PM kathyhughes Not that I stand up for them, but remember theirs is a task oriented job and tasks have to be done
2013-05-28 06:17:31 PM taylorp left the chat room
2013-05-28 06:17:31 PM chustead We all have to work as a team for the best interest of the residents we serve.
2013-05-28 06:17:34 PM carlota36 some people just dont like to work thats the problem
2013-05-28 06:17:37 PM taylorp enter the chat room
2013-05-28 06:17:37 PM slf0038 I have the opposite problem. They want to herd them to get them out of their hair. then I have inappropriate residents in the activities.
2013-05-28 06:17:42 PM jamieblue Hello Kathy. Hello Everyone!
2013-05-28 06:17:51 PM catejuvenal Kathy do you see a way to break the barrier with nursing staff?
2013-05-28 06:17:54 PM deedabbler My ED wanted to share the last written assignment with them to share what activities does and how it all goes together, I told her absolutely share.
2013-05-28 06:17:55 PM 29645 HEY BLUE
2013-05-28 06:17:59 PM ss1325 i hate when my nursing staff says to me why don't you go and color haha geesh
2013-05-28 06:18:06 PM kate9 I can identify with that issue 38.
2013-05-28 06:18:08 PM bernlewis Kaathy, for the mid term practum intefacility event does it have to actually have to be done or is an event that you would plan with this visited facility?
2013-05-28 06:18:13 PM ss1325 i say heck yes can't wait to color!
2013-05-28 06:18:15 PM taylorp left the chat room
2013-05-28 06:18:22 PM kathyhughes Yes there are someways that work....I would offer an inservice for them and have some of the residents as teachers

2013-05-28 06:18:55 PM kathyhughes and have an inservice where the staff learns about what the residents want to do and why you do what you do
2013-05-28 06:18:56 PM deedabbler I agree and food usually gets them in.
