I always sign out each med as I pull them

play cards or a board game

yes we do

5days

red dot on the name tag on their door

I have 17 residents and it takes about 2 to 2 1/2 hours

we chart on any "skilled" resident once a day any incidents such as falls, vomiting, diarrhea, anyone on antibiotics chart x72hours

same thing but I was told not to chart bruise but "ecchymosis"

we find out what their favorite meal is and our administrator goes out to a restaurant and gets it

We send the whole card but do a two person count before giving the card to the RP. Then we go over the count with the family and have them sign

we write on the bottom of the bottle

neurontin, xanax, ativan, tylenol, miralax, benefiber, tylenol, tramadol, oxycodone

We just had a meeting and were told we had to come up with money savings. Can anyone help out????our census is about 40 residents, staff 2 nurses a shift, have a DON, ADON and administrator.3-4 CNA's per shift depending on census Ideas were to increase our lunches to 45 minutes. they strip and wash the sheets everyday, I suggested changing them just on shower days twice a week Can you help me with any ideas? ANY?
