Hello CNA'S from the class that graduated in December 2022. Could you please let me know where you are working now? Hope you are all well!

Hello Boces CNA students who graduated in December 2022. I am wondering how many are interested in CPR?

● If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
● If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
● If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
● If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
● If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
● If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
● If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, dance, listen to music and visit with friends. Those that know me know what I want to listen to.
● If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
● If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
● If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
● If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even know if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
● If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.
● If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
● If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
● If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.
● If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.
● If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
● If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
● If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
● If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

Please, ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.
Thank you 😘

Congratulations! Everyone is this recent CNA class passed both parts of their Prometric Exams! Outstanding effort! I'm so proud of you all! 💗

Good luck on everyone testing tomorrow! See you at 9am. You've got this!

I'm working on setting up the CPR class. The computer room is booked all next week and next monday as well but I'm still working on it. The skills that I was hoping to have Jan 18 will be postponed. I'll keep you posted.

So far only 4 people have responded yes to CPR which isn't enough to hold a class. The 16th is a holiday. We will change the skills date to Jan 18th. Please respond if you plan on attending by Wednesday so that I can schedule the class with the red cross.

Trying to make final arrangements for CPR class for my current class. Please let me know by Monday if you plan on attending as I must set up the class on the red cross website. Skills will be Jan 16th from 10am until 2:30pm at RTP room 208. You will be sent an email through the red cross so that you can do the online portion. Let me know if I should use the email that is on Google classroom or text me a different one if you'd like.It will take about 4 hours. You must do the online portion prior to doing the skills day. I am booking the computer room at 3555 Buffalo road for Wednesday Jan 11th at 1pm until 5pm or Jan 12th from 10am until 2pm. Depending on availability which date would be preferred? I will use the date with the higher votes if available? You can do the online portion at home or the library if you'd like to. Just wanted to make sure everyone has computer access and to be available to assist with completing it if needed.
