Default Re: Don jobs
Do you know the regs, both state and federal? Have you written a POC or know what is involved with that? Have you worked with a budget and able to stay within one of let's say $1M and above? Do you know what the benefits are of medicare and how payments work? THere are many more things to being a DON then being able to "fill-in" for the MDS coordinator.

Default Re: Don jobs
Thanks for all your replies/advice. But, I ended up with a job offer for a United Indian Health Services clinic as triage nurse, which I am really excited about. I have been on the job for about a week and I think I will have the opportunity to develop more skills and knowledge about disease processes etc. The interim DON and the LTC center was not happy to see me go and gave me an excellent review, stating that if I didnt like UIHS to come back and shed teach me the DON ropes. (she is ready to retire and stepped in just to help the facility but she knows her stuff.) I think it ended up working out for the best. Thanks again.
