amiemcnatty 0 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi my name is Amie and I'm currently taking the Texas Basic. I hope to further my opportunities in the field of activities and programs. I am a little scared of taking an online class and it is somewhat overwhelming. I have always worked in long term care facilities and have enjoyed the connection you have with residents when doing activities. I'm nervous but won't give up!

Leah's Reply: The MEPAP1 course offered by the Activity Director's Network has been my first ever online class. I have really enjoyed the convenience of taking it online. I would have had to take it three hours away and be gone from my family for two weeks, and that was a crash course. This outlet has been much better for me. Hearing your excitement with working in a long term care facility, is a great indication that you will be successful with your class. Just take one assignment at a time and pace yourself. Never procrastinate with reading or completing assignments, and have fun with the new knowledge you obtain! Share it with your residents and use your experiences to progress in your studies. Hope this helps and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
