I feel like I am always confused and not sure while coding Section G. Plus nurses notes make my coding more difficult bec i am getting more confused with them. Do u have suggestions to make coding section G more accurate. When i am very confused i just go to bedside then observe resident with their bed mobility, transfers, etc but end up not matching with what nurses document. Any comment, suggestions is very muc appreciated.Thanks.

Yes there are missing records, sloppy nursing notes, care plan meetings, daily morning meeting and other distractions. Thank you both for your replies. I feel a lot better :)

I am only able to do 3 assessments, 1 annual, 1 quarterly, 1 discharge assessment, am i too slow???

b3nch08, I feel for you too. I have almost the same problem only I am not salaried but I am not allowed to have overtime so if i work the floor on the weekend I get days off during the weekdays. I am new to mds. At first i thought i found my dream job but I was wrong. I am so disappointed. I feel unappreciated and being unfairly treated. So now I am thinking of going back to the floor. As a RN supervisor I can go home as soon as my shift is over, i can just give them days that I would like to work, i have the choice to do so unlike mds coordinator who they feel like has an obligation to work on call. It's not just the working on call but a lot of times i feel a lot of people in my facility does not know the importance of this position.

I will be pulled out again from mds to work as a supervisor for a month. I just can't believe this. Grrrr. I don't think I want to be a mds coordinator anymore. It's better to be a floor nurse than a mds coordinator who is being treated like this. If they want you in the floor, they send you to the floor without asking you first if it is okay. I am so disappointed.

I am also being pulled out from mds to do supervisory position and insert IVs in my facility every now and then. They said we work as a team for the facility. I am also thinking of quitting. What do u all think..

Thank you so much for your help!!
