  1. FMLA

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to cecilsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I used FMLA twice.......for both of my pregnancies. Was put on Bed Rest by my Doctor. My Supervisor hauled me into her office & asked, "If your baby dies, are you coming back to work?"

  6. Terrified Patient

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    Does this patient have any type of dementia/confusion? I would suspect pain if she was moaning, even if she denied it. I would try routine pain medication first & see if this helped with her...

  7. "I" careplans

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to Nascar nurse's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Somewhere in the 3.0 stuff, I read something about this. CMS feels care plan goals should be based on goals residents want, not what the facility decides. In fact, the scenario I read, stated that...

  8. Salaried Staff Nurses?

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

  10. MDS 3.0 team training

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to golflinda2214's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    ALL Disciplines must be trained on the 3.0. Do you work for a corporation? If so, what does the corporation require? Sounds to me like your facility wants to dump the entire interviewing...

  11. Is anyone else having to get wound certified

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to susanthomas1954's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Just because Wound Care Documentation is "not getting done" should not be a legit reason for cramming more on the MDS Department. Your Corporation is dumping on MDS & all of us MDS Coordinators...

  12. MDS NURSE AS DON????

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to texasheat's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    As an MDS Coordinator, I would NOT want the liability. Let the ADON take charge; that's what the facility is paying her

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to Redhead28's topic in General Nursing

  17. Mandatory cut-off age for being a bedside nurse?

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Indiana

  19. down coding?

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to crissrn27's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Nascar Nurse, you are exactly right. The State Auditors told us that if the MDS Dept. changes the ADL coding (late loss ADL's) this would be a good way to lose our nursing
