   Maybe now is a good time to have DNR tattooed on my chest. Lol.

2. Care Plan Question

   SRK77 replied to heidi_chick's topic in MDS

   So, do you care plan the target behaviors associated with antipsychotics? I am in the process of reviewing our care plans to include non medication interventions. Now if the census will stay up so I can have enough staff to implement them.

   SRK77 replied to crazyforthis's topic in MDS

   Since the pt is skilled, I would think supervision at minimum.

4. Question on the ambulation part of mds

   SRK77 replied to litbitblack's topic in MDS

   I may be wrong, but if they can move around in their wheelchair, then I thought that would be addressed in the locomotion sections. I mostly see 0/0 and 4/2.

7. Pay Rates??

   SRK77 replied to Sweeti738's topic in Geriatric

   I work for a CCRC so I don't receive any outside admissions. Therefore, I have a pretty sweet set up. And our LTC unit maxes out at 24. Its also a private pay facility so charting is at a minimum.

8. Pay Rates??

   SRK77 replied to Sweeti738's topic in Geriatric

   Novant pays slightly more than Carolina Healthcare. CHS starts out at 19.65 per hour. I think 20.19 for Novant. This is the last rates I heard of for new grads. However I work in LTC so the pay is a little more than the hospital.

    SRK77 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric

14. Pay Rates??

    SRK77 replied to Sweeti738's topic in Geriatric

    I started in LTC after I graduated in May 2011. I made $22.50 an hour plus a shift diff of $1.00 per hour for 7p - 7a. I switched facilities after 6 months and started there at $24.00 per hour. I have now been there for almost a year and am about to ...
