Hello, I'm finishing up my practicum and need to interact with another activity professional. 

 

I have worked in the activity department for almost a year.  I have worked for our nursing home for 6 years as a c n a .

I am very excited to be in the activity department.   I have learned so much with this course.  I have to say today is my activity director's last day to be here.  Starting tomorrow I will be the person in charge of our department.  However, my current director will be working from home so that I may finish this course and start mepap 2.  As soon as I'm finished with that I will be the new Director of activities.

 

If any one has any advise for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Our facility is also planning a cinco de mayo party.  We are going to have chips and dips

Our town has a month long celebration for our county's heritage.  They start with Miss Hansford pagent, this week end will be a cinco de mayo celebration with a dance and then our hospital has a lake day with all sorts of outdoor fun at our local lake and then we top it off with a big parade and street dance.

Hi all! Roberta from PA using site here first time. I am a CNA turned activities aide for last 8 yrs. love what I do for and with my people every day! Taking MEPAP1 and feel like I’m getting there 5 weeks in. Trying to get my school work done is a challenge with work but it seems like we are all in the same boat! Looks like I need to find a chat buddy too so I will see how this goes! Going to bake this morning with my residents for a bake sale.

Hi Jo, Great, I'm finishing up on my 12th week, What week are you in?

Hi Terry, I'm working on then 14th week assignments. I'v been surprised at what I do know but am also enjoying learning new stuff. It basically enforces the "law" I live by, which is, "treat people the way you want to be treated".  Simple but yet effective.

HI Roberta, my first time here also. A bake sale huh? Who do you sell the baked goods to? School work and 40+ hour work week can be challenging, glad I'm not the only newbie !! Good luck with your learning journey !

Hi  Donna Yes,  I do, let me know when is a good time, and I'm not really sure about where do we chat? On this link?

Hello everyone, my name is Haley and I'm in the MEPAP1-030608 course. I'm currently in the middle of survey! It was extremely hectic last week and this week, even though it's only Monday, it has been crazy. I'm being pulled in all sorts of directions. A special event we've been planning is our monthly BBQ's that we hold. We are constantly trying to improve the process. Any advice?
