I just recently started working again, now in LTC. I would like some help in updating careplans. Can you give me some suggestions?

I suppose every facility is different. I work the 3rd shift 3x's a week. and in the past worked med-surg in hospotal. the 2 coulldn't be more different. I am the only licensed person on my floor , i supervise 2 to 3 CNA's They are the backbone of the unit. They know the residents. It took me 6 months to really know my residents and their regular behaviors, cuz i work so infreq. I also chart check, any orders done for the day i followup to see they were posted correctly. I order meds when they get low. Do assessments on those who have fallen ( which is alot on my Alz unit), F/u on UTI"S, URI"S, update careplans, Do Blood sugars, order supplies.
