Last week I resigned my position as DON of a 112 bed facility. I accepted a contract with a local staffing agency at a hospital an hour away from me. This is where I worked prior to taking the DON job. It is a great hospital. The contract is on the tele floor where I would never have more than 5 patients, I would work 3 12's and make a butt-load of $$$, but would have to drive. Well today the powers-that-be at the LTC facility offered me the MDS coordinator job or I could be a relief charge nurse occasionally. I am leaning toward relief charge on a PRN basis but what about the MDS thing?? Is this something I might enjoy? I really don't mind long-term care, I just didn't want the responsibility that goes along with the DON position. Any thoughts on the subject??
