  2. PPS-Triple check tool

    Does anyone have a triple check tool you can share? Thanks!
  3. Who is your software vendor for 3.0?

    I can't stand PCC! It's worse now than it ever was!
  4. LPN= MDS?

    Very well said. I, for one, have never been "down" on RN's; they have been mentors for years....you cannot work in any industry for 30 + years and not become proficient in your skills. By virtue of outdated state and federal regulation, and the stiff...
  5. MDS 3.0--recording DTI--feedback to CMS needed

    Done!
  6. MDS 3.0 Clinical Issues--tell CMS!!

    Great post! I have already sent my comments to CMS (more than once). After attending the CMS Train-the Trainer conference in Baltimore, I am more convinced that this tool is a real mess if I ever saw one. While CMS and all their "experts" have lauded...

  8. Is there any weight to MDS "certification?"

  11. MDS 3.0 Delay?

    seems the word is out?..... there is speculation circulating around the scheduled date of the october 1, 2009 mds 3.0 launch. and, if you visit the cms 3.0 website, you will note that the published time line document has been removed. this occured on...
  12. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    The obvious answer to that is no, considering they have no nursing education. Having said that, if our educators feel it is appropriate and safe to create a certification program enabling CNA's to perform the licensed duty of passing medications; why...
  13. Medical assistants and LPNs

    Yes, seems like this is the plan to replace LICENSED Nurses with UNlicensed personnel; they are much cheaper labor, allowed in many states to perform more tasks than LPN's, have less education, and are conveniently not governed by the nursing boards....
