The week that was...

Last week was Bosses Day, and I thought you might like seeing a few fun things we did for our Administrator and Director of Nursing.  We so appreciate both of them and they enjoyed these fun little tokens.  

This little container is filled with paper clips.  The tag on the top says "You hold the pieces together."

This one is filled with M&M's.  The tag on this one says "Thanks for being m & m, marvelous and magnificent!"

This one has York Peppermint Patties.  The tag says "For your enjoy-mint.  Thanks for your encourage-mint, commit-mint, invest-mint, involve-mint."

These were fun and were easy to put together.


The other thing going on last week was flu shots.  This is a big deal in long term care facilities, getting consents signed by all the guardians and residents, giving the shots and then documenting them.

I went back in to work on Monday evening and gave almost all the residents their shots.  A few had received them already and a few refuse them.  After they are given, there is so much documentation!  It needs to be put into a preventative health file on the computer, into a vaccine book at the facility and then into a State of Mich website, including date, lot number, type of vaccine, site...  so it takes quite a bit of time.  I worked on this much of the week.

But Friday was a day for more shots.  It was the day to do the employee vaccines.  I try to do a few things to make it a little more fun than just coming to my office and getting poked.

I buy candy so they can have a treat, and they all like chocolate!

I also get fun band-aides.  I had 3 different types - minions, emoji's and mickey mouse.  The staff members always laugh at this.

Here's the desk - set up with consents, vaccine information, alcohol wipes, candy, band-aides and the shots.
I ended up giving 124 shots last week.  I'll be doing more this week, for employees that couldn't make it in and for residents who didn't have their consents turned in on time.  I'll also be doing documentation for the employees.
It's always a big relief to have this done, and I'm close!
