2016-10-25 06:24:10 PM martyr58 chaplainded- don't your residents decorate--- we get out the stuff and they go wild... we have a couple residents and it a decoration is not level---they go crazy and then straighten it out.

2016-10-25 06:28:19 PM cynthiasickler our care plan meetings i find really weird. unless the resident and family member is there i feel like its just some department heads checking over other peoples work

2016-10-25 06:28:46 PM lorimcg we never had it either just life safety said nothing on the ceiling
2016-10-25 06:28:49 PM cynthiasickler we need our director to help with activities not fix other peoples mistakes. she'd rather be with us too.
2016-10-25 06:28:51 PM samanthaculver wow chap,
2016-10-25 06:28:53 PM kathyhughes Martha there is a flame retardent spray that you can get and anything hung has to be 18" from the sprinkler

2016-10-25 06:29:09 PM samanthaculver my volunterrs get like interageted by the FBI
2016-10-25 06:29:16 PM kathybrosrt lol Pam...I always tell the girls when they want to order craft kits to look at the picture. Most of the time you can figure out how to make it on your own
2016-10-25 06:29:37 PM kathyhughes Mark there are other men in the classes they aren;t here tonight
2016-10-25 06:29:37 PM haliea we don't have volunters. i wish sometimes we did tho

2016-10-25 06:30:06 PM dorisb Being the assistant is a lot different than being the director at our facility. I'm constantly going to one meeting or another, and I would rather be working more with the residents.
2016-10-25 06:30:07 PM marissavega1274 we never inventory stuff
2016-10-25 06:30:14 PM 123504147 Thank you for the tip...i am going to google popsickle crafts

2016-10-25 06:32:28 PM martyr58 I like pinterest, but my other coworker is soooo great at crafts- I do sports things and lots of music and games.

2016-10-25 06:35:28 PM schmiess1 if we dont get it we have to wear a mask at all time within being around residents

2016-10-25 06:35:46 PM cindyc We are not allowed to wear masks at work.
2016-10-25 06:35:55 PM kacies we actually have alot of residents who refuse the shot also
2016-10-25 06:36:03 PM kacies they obviously dont have to wear masks though
2016-10-25 06:36:03 PM saraheltman If they refuse the shot they have to wear the mask Nov 1st-April1st...so just get the shot.
2016-10-25 06:36:03 PM angelamscott I have few in memory care samantha
2016-10-25 06:36:04 PM kathybrosrt Our arm stabber told us we can refuse but she has to document it, and we have to wear masks if the residents get sick
2016-10-25 06:36:05 PM 123504147 Yeah...I got sick last year when I got the shot.
2016-10-25 06:36:05 PM lorimcg no shot we have to wear a mask
2016-10-25 06:36:11 PM schmiess1 either with residents on precautions
2016-10-25 06:36:11 PM cynthiasickler i dont know if our resdinets can refuse the shot
2016-10-25 06:36:12 PM shuntat1984 the residents thinks we are all sick with mask on
2016-10-25 06:36:21 PM mcurtis512 us it a law or requirement too
2016-10-25 06:36:22 PM rebeccaa Always make an example of the craft first and they may be schocked that a toilet paper roll was part of it
2016-10-25 06:36:24 PM nancyd i found out that the real reason ppl gets sick even tho they had the shot is that they got the shot too early and it's not effective. that's y they get sick. they need to give it bout 2 weeks before the flu season actually starts
2016-10-25 06:36:26 PM martyr58 I wish we got the pneunomia shot for free!
2016-10-25 06:36:26 PM marissavega1274 some of our resident refuse also
2016-10-25 06:36:34 PM chaplaindeb Back to how to get help: I take CNAs who are on light duty and give them Activities hours. Thing is, most of them want to stay!
2016-10-25 06:36:37 PM schmiess1 yes residents can it's their right
2016-10-25 06:36:44 PM lorimcg our residents can refuse but they don't have to wear the mask.
2016-10-25 06:36:44 PM 123504147 Yeah...I would not want to have people around me with masks on all the time...uncomfortable
2016-10-25 06:36:50 PM dorisb We are not required to get a flu shot, but strongly encouraged to do so. This year the manamgement is having a drawing for some gift certificates for everyone who gets their flu shot.
2016-10-25 06:36:54 PM kathybrosrt 123 the shot covers the big whammy flu that could possibly kill you..there are 50 different flu's so chances are u caught one of them
2016-10-25 06:36:55 PM nancyd cnas on light duty are also a big help too
2016-10-25 06:36:59 PM mbowie0280 WE HAVE TO KEEP EVERYTHING CLASSY AND CLEAN. tHE OWNERS ARE VERY STRICT ABOUT THAT
2016-10-25 06:37:17 PM rebeccaa We have new owners and big budget cuts.
2016-10-25 06:37:20 PM benjaminfresby enter the chat room
2016-10-25 06:37:24 PM auazuibke0114 I wonder why some refuses to get shot
2016-10-25 06:37:34 PM carolyna kat i asked the RN so what happens if we get the strain that is not cover in the shot
2016-10-25 06:37:38 PM kathybrosrt Chap we arent allowed to do that. Our cna's need to focus on their own jobs the way it is
2016-10-25 06:37:41 PM kacies i think id leave my job before being forced to get the shot
2016-10-25 06:37:41 PM mark26 they refuses coz they will get sick
2016-10-25 06:37:44 PM samanthaculver same here rebacc
2016-10-25 06:37:48 PM shuntat1984 it flares up my bronchitis
2016-10-25 06:37:50 PM cynthiasickler i wish our place was cleaner than it is. its clean but i have serious ocd so most would find it cleaner than i do. lol
2016-10-25 06:37:50 PM dorisb I've heard some of our employees say they get sick from the shot.
2016-10-25 06:38:00 PM pamgoodwin You can do so many things with them-----right Isabel. We made ghost the other day with them. Old sheet from housekeeping...google eyes..fun stuff. And the residents laugh when making silly stuff like this. I'll never throw another one away again.
2016-10-25 06:38:08 PM lorimcg one told me she refuses because she like to say NO to her nurse. then everyone will talk to her and she likes that
