Getting the feel for things

I have to say i have been enjoying my internship even though it is nothing like I expected it to be. My first week was only a 2 day week because of a staff retreat. In this time I mostly just familiarized myself with the Association and what they did and tried to remember everybody's names. My experience started out with a staff meeting where i got to hear about what everyone was working on. FHCA is a fairly small organization having only around 15 staff members. Because of this we all meet together and let everyone know what is getting done, or what needs to get done.

This last week was my second week and in which I went to two meetings; one on Hospice and the other with the local Lobbyists. That is not all I did though, I am working on two projects now. The first is to contact our 78 member nursing homes that are not compliant with the new ESS system. I am going to call them and help them get it fixed so they don't get any fines. It is ,as of a few months, ago Florida law. The other project I am working on is a survey to assess quality in ALF. We are working with some other organizations with this but it seems pretty cool.
