Hi, my name is Robin, I'm from Corydon In i have a son and a Daughter, been married for 20 years to the same man.I love Animals we have 4 dogs and 6 cats.

I was a CNA for 14 years before going into Activities. I was a Activity Aide for one year, then Activity Director for 5 years 6 months. I love my Job. When you can get up and be happy about going to work then you know your doing the right job. I'm wanting to do more to help others in Activities and looking for all the classes i can to learn everything about my job. I just want to say that this web. is the BEST, it's nice to know we the Activity Directors has this to come to and be able to read what others have to say, when they need help with something. It's Great

Thank you so very much!!!

Robin

Hi Robin, Welcome to the site (best around town!!). I am an Activities Assistant who recently went back into the field because I loved it so much. I work part time at night at the reception desk and during the day as an AA. I tried another field but my heart truly is in activities. Pat 8-)

Hi Billie, Welcome!! I enjoy reading all the postings and everything else on this site. I having been thinking (going on 3 years now lol) about getting my certification. Don't know why I haven't and would be able to answer it if you asked me why not. Pat 8-)

Hi Pat, It can be a little scary, because it is a big responsability. But it is best to get it so that you can understand the position better and of course you get the pay increase also. so think about it . later Billie :-)

Hello, My name is Judy. I have been an AD for 3 years. I worked as a CNA for 6 years then as an assistant to the AD for 1 year. I love being in activities. I love all of my residents. I am new to this site trying to find new ideas.

Welcome Judy, we are all here to help each other, Just ask and you shall receive. :-D

Hi Judy, Welcome to the website. To Billie - I did most of the AD's work because she was outside smoking most of the day. True story, she would sit for hours outside the faclity and do nothing but smoke. Only time the AD would come inside was to go to the bathroom or eat!! I was an Assistant Director at one point but left the facility. Think the main reason why I never did go for that certification is that I'm plain lazy. I keep telling myself yeah one of these days. That day still hasn't come!! Take care. Pat 8-)
