When I graduated college I worked in a LTC facility as floor supervisor RN. Then I Went to a hospital for 3 years as floor nurse; now I was asked to come back to the first nursing home to be a MDS/case coordinator. Any insight into this job? I'm requesting a job shadow. Monday-Friday day shift would work wonders for our family dynamics instead of my 12 hour shifts with weekends and holidays. Whats everyones thoughts?!

A different way to take care of your residents; also your work is paramount to reimbursement and should focus on accuracy & working closely with the skilled therapist. Working a regular schedule is such a blessing for RN's & your family dynamics should soar in happiness & love.Normally RNs have little left at the end of the day & our family get the left overs.Good luck

You must be extremely detail oriented, be a leader within your building and work closely with rehab, nursing, billing staff & management. You will probably be a key employee during survey. Can't beat the schedule!
