would only report injury of unknown origin and fractures 2 & 3 would not report only counsel staff I would caution to keep documentation of any investigations because they state will ask for that even if the event was not reportable

I am an ADON working in a 160 bed facility ( ground breaking in process for 40 additional beds). We have 2 60 bed skilled units and a 40 bed Dementia unit. My repsonsibilites include being my DON's right hand. I am responsible for the clinical aspects, ensuring that all follow up is completed daily. I am also responsible for wound care follow up ( most days we have a treatment nurse and a wound MD weekly). I also participate in the disciplinary process and am responsible for attendace discipline. I am expected to cover my DON when she is unavailable. I attend meetings as needed and anything else that comes along. We are fortunate to have an Infection control RN , Quality Assurance RN and 3 RN Unit Managers. At this point we do not have to take call because we are required to have a RN 24 hours a day therefore we have a evening and night Supervisor.

With the new guidelines surfacing related to fining hospitals for readmission for same diagnosis within 30 days what clinical services are your facilities providing to build a patrnership with hosptals and to keep residents hospital admissions low. My facility is looking at providing services such as TPN etc Thanks for any input

HI I also work in Virginia as an ADON in LTC. The salary they are offering you is what our CNAs are making. Sounds like an interesting job But why is the pay so low
