Utilize your most recent up to date MDS RAI manual and get your rehab director on board with you, it will take both departments. Do not let your RNAs get pulled to the floor for call ins etc. Know the rules for reimbursement. This gets your corporate behind you and gives you support.

I also just accepted a position as restorative nurse.........I have 1 RA who is currently running 31 programs..........YOW that's approximatley 18 minutes per resident not much time consodering you have to hunt some of the residents down. I was told I would be able to have another RA when census is up a bit.
I was wondering what resources that you have found that are helpful?
