2016-11-15 07:47:15 PM kathyhughes If you take MEPAP1 and MEPAP2 and have one other component to apply for Track 4 you can apply at that time and get the pass to take the national exam
2016-11-15 07:47:35 PM kathyhughes Some students who have waited have not done well on the national exam
2016-11-15 07:47:37 PM saraheltman THank you so much!

2016-11-15 07:50:52 PM kathybrosrt That I didnt know, because I thought about paying for part 2 myself
2016-11-15 07:50:55 PM samanthaculver coming from working with adults tht have DD for the last two years and then this its all so different
2016-11-15 07:50:56 PM kathyhughes NO Cynthia
2016-11-15 07:50:58 PM 123504147 Really! That's cool! My boss is paying for MEPAP I but I have to pay for II
2016-11-15 07:51:03 PM audreypryan Thanks!
2016-11-15 07:51:04 PM erinmarie221 I asked mine if they would help. Seriously, they asked me why?
2016-11-15 07:51:10 PM rebeccaa I forgot about the tax deduction
2016-11-15 07:51:13 PM cynthiasickler ok thats good
2016-11-15 07:51:14 PM samanthaculver the residents dont want to do half the stuff my DD population did
2016-11-15 07:51:19 PM anjalihpatel im paying for it all ah
2016-11-15 07:51:21 PM reddis I'd have to pay for II if I wanted to take it

2016-11-15 07:51:31 PM kathybrosrt yep me to redd
2016-11-15 07:51:40 PM kathybrosrt But it would be worth it
2016-11-15 07:51:45 PM cynthiasickler my center pays for one but never asked if theyd pay for 2. i bet not
2016-11-15 07:52:00 PM samanthaculver i think mine would pay for two
2016-11-15 07:52:13 PM cynthiasickler anyone know the average rate for activity director now
2016-11-15 07:52:26 PM joannab My company pays for full-time staff.
2016-11-15 07:52:28 PM erinmarie221 depends on the type of facility
2016-11-15 07:52:29 PM rebeccaa good question
2016-11-15 07:52:30 PM samanthaculver my Ed is great he has given me the much needed confidence that I lacked and still lack
2016-11-15 07:52:30 PM jdw090882 Good question cynthia
2016-11-15 07:52:33 PM kathyhughes I have paid for all of my education including the conferences and workshops that I have gone to
2016-11-15 07:52:39 PM cynthiasickler i di get a raise but im not sure its enough or if im being cheated for the amount of work im going to be doing
2016-11-15 07:52:44 PM saraheltman I'm taking track 4 to be NCCAP certified, it will probably be in 2019 until I can get a full time activity director position :/
2016-11-15 07:52:45 PM pamgoodwin Probably depends on what part of the country your in also
2016-11-15 07:52:46 PM kathybrosrt Cyn it depends on the facility and your experience in Activities
2016-11-15 07:53:15 PM reddis I wont get a raise until I finish the course..
2016-11-15 07:53:17 PM kathyhughes Cynthia....it depends on the size of your facility, the cost of living in your area and their reinbursement rate
2016-11-15 07:53:19 PM mcurtis512 I agree with pam
2016-11-15 07:53:30 PM erinmarie221 Raise? what's that? LOL
2016-11-15 07:53:35 PM samanthaculver lol
2016-11-15 07:53:40 PM reddis Right?! LOL
2016-11-15 07:53:44 PM cynthiasickler i guess, i just dont want to be cheated with all the work we do
2016-11-15 07:53:49 PM rebeccaa Health care 2016
2016-11-15 07:53:56 PM kathyhughes Here in NY......It can be anything from $100,000 to minimum wage
2016-11-15 07:53:56 PM lorimcg i won't be making as much until i am completely certified
2016-11-15 07:53:56 PM 123504147 God...all of you guys make my boss sound like an angel!
2016-11-15 07:54:03 PM saraheltman It is better to be certified or to have a lot of experience? I mean what would employers look for?
2016-11-15 07:54:05 PM kathybrosrt wow Kathy how come? the facility pays for everyone elses schooling and workshops. Activities is a must and we need our education
