  1. Jobs that older nurses do. (?)

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to conroenurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How about an MDS Coordinator Position? I've been one for 10

  2. Just Rude!

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

    They did you a favor...you DON'T want to work for them. I had my fill of them several years ago in my first MDS Coordinator Position.... They kept me in meetings most of the day with no time to do my...

  3. How could a DON not know?

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

    Kitty Hawk, what you experienced is typical. Company buy-outs are usually brutal & they will lie to your face. I am working for a large LTC Corporation now who apparently has been sold (according...

  4. I've got a social worker that is doing everyone's job

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

    We are having the same issue with one of our Social Workers; she is supposed to be doing the "Administrator in Training" at some point. She's into everything else (of course, everything is a secret)...

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to eminthesr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am in front of a computer all day...I'm an MDS

  6. Would you become an RN again if you had the choice?

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to eminthesr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    NO, absolutely NOT.... And for you newer Nurses....I feel sorry for you. For starters, too many Nurses, not enough jobs, pay has decreased & hotel customer service

  7. What to do when a doctor won't let you read back an order

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to aem31's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know a Nurse who had recently went in front of the Nursing Board because a Dr. refused to sign an order he claimed he "did not

  8. Let go after three days? Seriously?!?!

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

    Since you have MDS 3.0 experience, you should have no problems finding another MDS position. MDS Coordinators are in

  9. Let go after three days? Seriously?!?!

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

    Maybe you would want to consider an MDS Position with another company....Perhaps working in a bigger facility with 2 or more MDS Coordinators....I worked in 3 different facilities as an MDS...

  10. MDS Nurse burned out and going back to the floor

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

    I understand exactly how you feel. Only another MDS Coordinator really understands the constant demands...yes, most think it's a fluff job....have heard that one too...there are two of us in the MDS...

  11. Rejected after 8 years of working for the company

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

    Working in LTC explains it all... Stop beating yourself up. Your issue is a common one in LTC. I've seen this happen over & over again. There's usually constant turn over in LTC & with turn...

  12. New RNAC workload?

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to VBRNJD99's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    That's way too much loaded on you. Get out; they are using

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

    The buildings I have worked in, it has been the responsibility of the Social Service Dept. to send out letters residents & their

  14. TRAVEL MDS NURSE

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

    I have heard of a few companies that place Interim/Traveling MDS Coordinators.... 360 Healthcare, Tobin & Associates & Clinical Resources....to name a few. I'm very much considering this as...

  15. Side duties of MDS/PPS coordinators

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

    You need to go to your Administrator. If that doesn't work, Corporate will probably have to get involved. Good

  16. Side duties of MDS/PPS coordinators

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

    Are you under Nursing? My Corporation does not have MDS under Nursing. Next question....Does your DON/Nursing Dept. complete MDS Assessments?

  17. Side duties of MDS/PPS coordinators

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

    And why do you assume the Bingo was for residents....it was not....it was for the public. The Bingo thing was used as a "Marketing Tool" to bring in business but of course Marketing dumped it off...

  18. Side duties of MDS/PPS coordinators

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

    Don't you know MDS Coordinators don't have much to do....that's why we have time to do everything else in the building. My boss in the MDS Dept. used to run Bingo on Wednesday Nights (not by...

  19. MDS Coordinator... fair pay?

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to mdsnurse12's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Check online....plug in MDS Jobs & the specific states you are looking for....Or contact a Recruiter. Good Luck!

  20. MDS Coordinator... fair pay?

    Bella'sMyBaby replied to mdsnurse12's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

  21. MDS Team...Should it be decentralized?

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

    I have always worked for Companies which require each specific discipline to enter their own information.... Social Services/Activities/Dietary complete their designated sections of the

  22. Careplans and personalization

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

    Just paper care plans (at this point) but I'm sure that will be changing when we go electronic. Usually Surveyors will read the care plan, then watch staff to see if they follow the care plan. Whether...

  23. Careplans and personalization

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

    If I am doing a Comprehensive Assessment & the Care Plan triggered from a specific CAA has not been updated by Nursing, I will then check the box, "Meds/Treatments as ordered". The MDS Dept. only...

  24. Careplans and personalization

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

    Allezel..... Sounds to me like you will be the "Facility Scapegoat" if Nursing gets a care plan tag. Our MDS Dept. is too busy to even think about taking on the care plan responsibilities. What size...

  25. Careplans and personalization

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

    If care plans are too specific, that will be a tag by State if the order changes....and who is responsible for noting the changes? Personally, I don't agree with the MDS Dept. completing all the care...
