Restorative nursing


Any restorative nurse here? Just wondering waht is included in your job description. I jusdy startd a new job and I get to review all the incident reports. I have held this position in another state and incident review was not part of the job description. It is quite time consuming even though done on the computer and I am learning lots about how other nurses chart (or don't) regarding incidents.
Would love to hear from anyone on this.
Thanks

This new job probably requires that you review incident reports, because incident reports can be valuable in determining if the patient has declined in function. Patients who are functionally declining are sometimes worth plenty of dollar signs to therapy departments if they qualify for PT/OT/ST.
