I am the MDS Coordinator in my building of 150 residents, and also an LPN.
I have given in-services on how to update care plans, and nobody listens to me!!!!
I have been told that most of our nurses are not going to update careplans because "they feel it is my job" and not theirs. I have the DNS breathing down my back because I cannot update careplans for 150 people by myself. It has gotten so bad that if somebody falls on a Friday night and I come to work on a Monday morning they still have not update a careplan at all with any intervention.
I have told my DNS that I cannot do this anymore, I also attend all the weight, pressure, wound, RCC , Quarterly assessment audits, and walking rounds for my building. I also do all the annual and quarterly assessments for my building. I have an RN that works only 16 hours, she only does the MED A MDS's but it is not enough to help me do everything that I have to do.
I love my job, but am severly stressed,,,,,,any suggestions.!!!!!
