mlbluvr 171 Posts Has 25 years experience. Jul 23, 2013 I've always been the only MDS Coordinator anywhere I've worked. LVN. Usually about a census of 100. Highest was 150, with about 50 of them PPS schedule. Pretty intense. I've always done all the data entry also. The most assessments I recall doing in one week was over 90, with about 20 comprehensives, and that week there were 30 care plan meetings. With 30 hours of stand up and other meetings, and all those assessments, etc., I always found time to get it all done, and on time, in a 40 hour week. Naturally, overtime was a capital offense!
