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

  2. Lost my cool

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

    Why are you mad at yourself for letting her "get to you?" My question is, Where was Management? Where was Security? This daughter should have been escorted OUT. I think you are the one who needs owed...

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

    To check the status on other disciplines CAAs/Care Planning, I e-mail the needed info since I find this is a time saver for me. Paging the other disciplines all day long takes too much of my time....

  6. looking up a patients arrest records?

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

  7. Why do we continue to do it?

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

    I ONLY do it for the money. I ONLY continue because I am in a non-patient care position. If my husband's Disability goes thru, I will go part time. Nursing has wrecked my health. I'm so sick of it...

  10. CMS Forms 672 and 802

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

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there...It seems as though in this day & age, nurses are reported to the Board for anything...another tactic to "keep nurses in their place". Yes, I would suggest legal advice if the...

  13. Abused by A&O Residents

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to MisMatch's topic in Geriatric, LTC

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

    Start sending out your Resume to other Companies today. If the facility you are in now is Corporate owned (most are) find out the MDS Job Description. It's possible that they may not be following...

  16. Serious scope of practice concern

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

  18. DON fired during state survey

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

    Getting booted out during a Survey sure sounds to me like your facility used you as their "Scapegoat". Unfortunately, tactics such as this are common in LTC. Forget about this place & move...

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

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

    No, you are not too slow. Doesn't matter what your census is, when they start dumping on the MDS Department, things just tend to pile up & get out of control. And then it doesn't help when the...

  25. DON passing trays in dining room

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

    Working the Dining Room every day is absolute Nonsense! Do the staff nurses rotate the DR? And if your Administrator is so concerned, why isn't she/he in
