Hello..new, novice, to this site..old nurse...need advice:
Just been offered a job to start as MDS nurse ..have never been exposed to even the source for training materials on this...Have had TILE classes.
What and where are resources (free) that I could go over in next few days to see what this job would really entail?
All I can say is I know what MDS means..that's it.
Talked to an old DON of mine who said she had been trying to get a position like this for two years and that I should jump at it .. Told her considering it..a real challenge from knowing nothing to finding out what it means.
Anybody out there can give advice or refer to sites?
i have just read through all the posts/threads about mds coordinator info... i have no experience in mds but have the oppurtunity to assume an mds coordinator position...have made a few notes but could use any other info...am convinced i need to find the rai manual..any other info on free training appreciated..will be getting inhouse training from corporate ..we'll see how it goes
When a PPS 14 day assessment is completed on day 15 with a RUG level higher than day 8 (day 8= RHB and day 15 =RUB), is it correct to say the 14 day RUG payment will only take effect for the payment block of days 15 thru 30 or will it change the payment of the 5 day with the payment block of day 1 thru 14?
