I like handling the letters, I find it easier to keep track of things. Right now we are reading every single care plan as that is how the administrator would like it done. We have lots of family participation, so our meetings always go over the scheduled 20 minutes. The Activity aid, Social worker and unit manager all come.

Hi Everyone...I know this question has been asked before, but wanted some updated answers if possible. I am new MDS nurse and handle the OBRA side at a 55 bed facility. I am responsible for sending the invite letters out and the care plan meetings. How does your facility handle this? How do you go about the meetings? Do you read over every single careplan with the families?

Hi ! I am pretty new to MDS and have a few questions..I apologize if this has been asked before. First question, Do you code vitamins under section M under Nutrition/hydration? Second, Is excoriation considered a stage I? This has been going back and forth between the staff.

We do the AM/PM system at our facility and have for almost 2 years now. No issues with pharmacy or the state. We do have some scheduled meds, as well as some timed for personal preference, but over all it's AM and PM. Nursing gives any PRN medications, but medication techs pass the rest.

We have 32 long term and skilled mixed...One nurse/2 aids. 19 would be heaven!

How were the interviews? They do a phone and a face to face correct?

Really? That sounds very nice to me!
