MDS Nursing

I will graduate nursing school in May 2009 and want to focus my specialty towards the MDS Coordinator position, where would I even begin to start my search for information, training, and education?

I am currently an Healthcare Information Systems Management graduate (coding, medical billing specialist)

Hi. I think you posted this question in the wrong forum (where we have debates and discussions about the BSN vs. ADN). We have an MDS Coordinator forum where I will move your post. Take a look around the various posts here. Hopefully someone will come along and respond to your post.

Welcome to Allnurses and good luck in all that you do.

I may been way too late in my reply, but if I were being brutally honest, I would recommend you spend a few months of so (until an mds position becomes available) working on the floor. This will give you insite as to what goes on "in the trenches". I would join AANAC and become a certified resident assessment coordinator through them. Also, I would begin to read and understand the RAI manual available on the CMS website.

Hope this helps!

I'm pretty sure you have to have a certain amount of experience before you get certified.
