  1. New DON

    itthybitthythpider replied to doitallnurse's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I think I am under the same rule, but as soon as I can send you a PM, can I get the report form, too.

  2. Given another patient's medication to satisfy MAR.What do you do? Orientee

    itthybitthythpider replied to rn_nxt_dr's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    To the OP: you kinda got the short end of the stick on this one. I understand why you were so upset, but going in with the attitude of "you are all criminals and need to be punished" may have been the...

  3. BSN or More Experience

    itthybitthythpider replied to luvtosmile's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    In Cali, most (if not all) management MUST be an RN. For DON I haven't seen one without either 20+ years exp or a BSN. and if the DON with 20+ years is retiring, they want one with 20+ years /and/ a...

  4. Wound Care

    itthybitthythpider replied to txdon's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

  6. How did YOU make YOUR transition from Floor nursing to Administrative nursing??

    itthybitthythpider replied to MiaRNoffduty's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I've been ADON for about a month now. First I was a floor nurse, then the MDS coordinator, and now ADON. Definitely having wonderful support from the other departments has made this so much easier,...

  7. DNS/DON question

    itthybitthythpider replied to pixie120's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Like Nascar Nurse said, document, document, document your requests for minutes. I'd let the MDSs go into default, too (I used to do MDS). Once the company starts losing money, they will have to look...

    Hello! I'm a new RNAC for a 105-or-so-bed facility and have been doing this for about 2 weeks :w00t: It's been a fun learning process! I'm wondering if there are any MDSCs/RNACs out there with any...

    itthybitthythpider replied to amazing09's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I agree. I got offered the oportunity to become the RNAC for my facility because I was a floor nurse there. I am looking at getting certified, just because that would give me a much better insight...
