I work at a 50 bed facility where we average 7-12 skilled, I am responsible for both PPS/OBRA and work 40hrs a week. I also help out on the floor, attend daily mtg, care plan meetings, etc. We are not allowed to work over time and I will not work off the clock. So how do I manage???? Lots of determination to do a good job! I have had 1 missed/late assessment in 3 yrs and minimal modifications d/t other departments. I have been in my position for over 7 years and love it.

Could you send me a copy as well, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. [email protected]

thank youy

I have been doing MDS's for just over 2 years and the question was just brought up and I need an answer ASAP. On the Cert sheet where the MD signs on admissionwhat date is to be used? Do you use the actual admit date or do you use the actual date that the MD came in to admit them? Any help would be great as the consultant we have is saying to use the actual admit date and my DON has no clue. Thanks

I have been an LPN for almost 20 years and have worked in all areas. Currently I am working as the MDS coordinator for my facility. Before that I was the ADON, with that came alot of responsibility and hard work. I was never singled out because of being an LPN. I have worked very hard to be where I'm at. It's not fair that some RN's think that they are better just because of the title. I had more clinical experience than most. I love my job and have been slowly taking courses for my RN. I have seen some real poor RN's over the years, and have watched all their major errors be swept under the carpet so to speak, so should we do away with LPN's I say no way, we are trained just as well if not better in patient care and is'nt that what it's all about, taking care of patients in the best possible manner.
