I think small facility DONs in Iowa and Minnesota are making 65-70000.

I think time management and (attempting) to be organized are a must. I check the report and our computer dashboard for what has happen since I left. I check if any assessments are behind and what is coming due that day. I check email, then phone messages. Intervene as needed. I make lists of what I need to accomplish as I go. I have a weekly planner so I know what meeting I need to attend. On Fridays, I make time to assure things are in order for the weekend, in my office and then plan for the next week. I have taken time management classes and they help so much! 5 to 15 minutes in planning, and just making yourself stop and think saves so much time. Good Luck!

Hang in there guys! I have been in Long Term Care for over 20 years with over 15 years in the management end of things. I can be overwhelming, but you will develop tools to use that will make things much easier. I would suggest developing time management skills. That helped me a lot. If I don't have a plan I don't get things done as fast. At the end of your day if you take 5 minutes to plan for the next day, you save so much time. Hope all is going well! Lisa

I agree! It is so frustrating waiting for a call and them not having the common decency to let you know the position was filled. I find this in several positions I was looking into. I just think it is rude.
