I need help!I have been working as an AD for a year now, and i love the activity side of my job. My problem is that they are spreading me to thin. I am putting reports in the computer for the admn & DON. Transporting Residents to and from appointments (most of the time an hour away). Getting physician orders to dr's and picking them up. doing nsg inventory. I also have the restorative dept. Some of this i can understand like transporting residents and physician orders. but i am spending most of my time working in the other depts and my documentation is suffering as well as my residents (my activities are being done). I was told yesterday that they want to hire a new act director and move me to basically being an assistant to the don, adon and donbecause i have the computer know how, which is something i also like. Is there a title for that job? How can I get back to enjoying Activities without losing my job completely? or should i take the job and forget about act?

:-D Hi I"m new in the business and am loving it...but i am having trouble finding out where to buy my borders and decorations for my bulletin boards. Please send links or store listings... I would really appreciate it so much.. A neat one-one: A resident of mine remembered when he was a boy, putting glue on his hand, letting it dry and peeling it off. so now you can find me in his room 1 x a week having sticky hand races. we spread the glue, chat while it dries, then race to see who can get it all off the fastest. when one of us finally gets it off in one piece our time is over. it is so much fun and i get to hear all the neat stories of his childhood.
