I was wondering is there any LVN who are MDS coordinator out there? If so, any feedback on how it is? I was looking into getting the certificate and getting a position for a MDS coordinator. My background is mostly homehealth; I've been doing the care plans for homehealth for about 8 years. I'm familiar with OASIS, doing raps, Quality Assurance and some coding. I know being a MDS coordinator has really big responsibilities; any feedback would be great!
