Not catching on

Specializes in Long term care.

The newest care plan nurse hired in my facility has been there since the very end of June. Near the end of October I starting giving her some extra training and assistance (because she said she didn't receive enough when hired - which was about 2 wks worth by the gal that she replaced) I've been reviewing her MDS' for the last 2 weeks (at the request of my supervisor) and finding numerous coding errors. So I went to her, and after going over the mistakes I found, I said "After this much time doing this job, and the extra training that you received at the end of October, I expect that your MDS' be getting better - and their not". Her reply was "Yah, I know". That was it. And she thanked me for helping her out as much as I did. Needless to say, the bosses are looking for her replacement -- and she's probably looking for our -- considering her reply and lack of concern voiced. Thanks for letting me vent. Tara

I wish I lived near you. I'd be applying for the job now! I have about 2 1/2 years MDS experience & AANAC certification and am looking for a job.

Good luck on finding the replacement.

P.S. Gerinursetara--I just looked at your profile and it says you're unemployed?? Is that old information? I am wondering how you could be having trouble with this new nurse if you aren't working. :confused:
