  2. I would see if there was another unit to transfer to and/or be looking for a new job. It sounds like you are in hell. To me, life is too short to deal with that kind of
  3. Told I'm too smart for LTC

  10. If they are changing the terms of the agreement, THEY are breaking the agreement, not you. If/when they contact you to sign a contract, tell them that you accepted the job specifically because they...
  11. Admission assessment

    I apologize for not noticing I was reading RAI 2.0 rather than 3.0 (although I think 2.0 is much more clear on this issue). The wording in 3.0 is confusing because in my understanding, it says the...
  12. Admission assessment

    From the RAI: If a resident goes to the hospital and returns during the 14-day assessment period and most of the initial assessment was completed prior to the hospitalization, then the facility may...

  22. change job when newly pregnant?

    For me, the pregnancy is the biggest issue. You will not be covered by the FMLA if you change jobs because you need to work for a year for that employer for FMLA to apply so your new employer (unless...
