Greetings! My name is Susie. I work as an Activity Assistant in a skilled nursing facility. I am working on my MEPAP 1. I have only worked in Activities for over a year but I love it so much I've decided to make it my career. There are so many different facilites that you can work in. I hope to experience them all someday. Right now I can only finish the MEPAP 1 and wait a year to take MEPAP2. I just don't have enough hours to fulfill the requirement for the certification right now. I do have previous experience as a receptionist in an assisted living community. My current situation: I'm a newlywed, no children yet, work fulltime. I do have a puppy that makes me feel like I have a child, lol. He even wakes us up in the middle of the night. Sometimes when I see an activity on the calendar that I particularly do not like, i have to remind myself that it's not what I like it's what the residents like. That always helps me
