congrats. I am just starting my RN-BSN also all online it will take me a while I have to pay for it myself but I will get there

you have to look at the overall picture of the resident and whether or not the situation is limited like a resident who is normally ambualatory and gets the flu during their assessment window and spends most of the week in bed or a wheelchair. while they likely met the two or more changes for a sig change they are expected to return to their prior level of function once they are over their illness. so then i would likely not do a sig change. another area where you only need 1 criteria is a resident who has been total care maybe even comfort measures they have no real change in mood, behavior, pain, cognition or ADLs but family wants hospice then you are required to do a sig change even thought the resident has not acutally experienced a new decline. Hope this helps

if it something you are interested in doing and the drive isnt too much then I would say go for it now days it is becoming more difficult for nurses with no MDS experience to get in to the field. So if you have the opportunity, the money is right and you work out all the details like hours and responsiblities and can get the training you feel you need I would go for it.

did you do a quartely with your readmission/return MDS as the resident would have been due for their first quarterly which on med a res I usually combine with my 90 day assess or in this case i would have done it with my readmission/return mds. if you havent done the quarterly get it done now so you are not out of compliance and then the resident just reverts into your obra schedule of quarterlies and annual. As for resident #2 if you discharged them return anticipated you only have to to a 5 day mds unless they met the criteria for a sig change then i would do it as a sig change/5 day if you discharged them return not anticipated then you treat them as a new resident Hope this helps

Well I for one dont get it I decided to move to florida in march so I visited for the first time in june and I loved it. My son and I moved to florida in july and so far it is awesome I was able to find a job before I moved that paid better than what I made in Minnesota. I have a great little two bedroom apartment and so far the people I met have been really nice. I am now looking into going back to school to get my BSN. The only draw back so far has been schools for my son they have you fill out forms and list where you want to go but then they put you wherever they want anyway. Which leads to some unhappy frustration among a 16 year old who had his heart set on another school but he will be fine. I love my job and i work with great people. I have no fear of living in a city this size (the same wouldnt have been true in minnesota) yeah its warm but I dont miss the cold and I definitely wont miss the snow.

i am not sure where in fort myers the school is as i havent moved there yet but i am moving into an apartment complex called Gulf Stream Isles that is in fort myers it was recommended to me by a friend who is moving there I know that rightn now they have some pretty good rent specials going on i am getting 250 a month off my apartment with a one year lease. Hope this helps I am looking forward to moving to fort myers in July and will be visiting in june to do some job searching

it took me about a month start to finish to get my florida license. i printed off the app and mailed it in with a money order total cost for fingerprint cards, fingerprinting, license verification, and license about 400 and i had my license within one week of the board recieving my paperwork Now I am just looking for a job Brenda
-
I too just got my florida license it took 1 week after all the paperwork arrived at the board and i had my license about three days after my letter and got my letter the day after i got an email. Now to find a job. I already have an apartment set up and am moving to florida in july yeah brenda

I too am in the process of getting my florida license and have probably spent close to 400 in fees and postage. I am seeing alot of jobs but most wont even respond until you have the florida license I do have one company sending me an application as she liked my credentials and I did tell her that I had already sent in all my paperwork to the board. My only concern right now is reading all these posts get me wondering about pay, but i already have the apartment lined up and i will have the moving company hired next week. I have a friend moving there in june who is going to continue to help with my search and to at least get my foot in the door i am willing to take any job and if i needed to any shift at least until i am done moving. good luck to both of you in your search. What areas are you looking to live and what type of nursing do you want to get into if i may ask

so what exactly is your question? When I write raps I start my rap by writing what triggered the rap and then i write out my reasoning as to why I do or do not agree with the trigger and whether or not I will write a care plan (does that make sense) surveyors have not had any issue with my raps and my don trusts that i know what i am doing so she doesnt double check either. Everyone needs to develop a system that works for them.

Well since as a travel nurse you technically work for the agency. I would put the agency down and then list the different departments you worked as well as pertinent clinical skills. In an interview you would be able to further explain all the different hospitals
-
where in minnesota do you live? have you considered anything besides hospital work (like home health, Assisted living, agency nursing(esp with you ltc experience)
-
where do you live? I do know of one company in minnesota. I would like to get into casemanagement but am having difficulty finding a company that doesnt require a bsn
-
if you go to medicare.gov you can do a nursing home compare and that will give you all the LTC in whatever city or area you are looking for
