KathyKennedyGarner 0 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hello, my name is Kathy. I'm currently the Assistant Activity Director at Heritage Manor in Elroy, WI. Our current AD is looking to retire in the near future so I am prepping for the position. I already do all of the assessments, MDS and care planning so the transition should go smoothly. (I just need to work on organization). Looking forward to finishing MEPAP 1 soon. Will wait until winter to take MEPAP2. I've enjoyed meeting others in my field through our chat sessions!

tonyathomas 0 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I am Tonya and have been an activity partner for almost 2 years. I am currently in MEPAP1. I am done with the first half of the course work, but, because of problems involving the practicums, I am not able to take the midterm yet. I am hoping this is resolved very soon because I am ready to move on. I think my next step will be to finish the last half of my CE hours and get my provisional license, and then I will take MEPAP 2. This will be the fastest way for me to get what I need to actually be a director in our community. I already missed one chance, I don't want to miss another just because I don't have the proper certification. I am finding that a lot of this is stuff that I had in my courses for my education degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisafm 1 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Teresat18, I am sorry I did not see your post. I did set up a chat through the Class Forum for the MEPAP1-5 class that started in May. Three of us then got together in the LiveChatRoom last Saturday (Aug 8). If you are still looking to chat with a classmate, you could announce that on your Class Forum and also set up a LiveChat date. Sorry I didn't see this soon enough to invite you from this forum! -lisafm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
