Published

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. RN since 2008, long-term care since 1996, and MDS Coordinator since July 5th.

Hello there Forrest RN & NurseMimi3, I am a new to MDS. I just applied for a RN position and was offered to be a MDS. I'm thinking to accept the offer but I don't know anything about it. However, I would like to become familiar with MDS as well as CMS. I would appreciate advise/suggestions. Thank you so much for your response.

Specializes in geriatrics.

Hello and welcome to MDS. How much experience do you have in long term care? There is a lot to the position, but I'm happy with it. There are certain parts that are State specific that I can't help with unless you live in Illinois. For the rest, I'm happy to help. Just let me know ?
