Starting From Ground

I too am starting from ground. I asked for information such as this a while back(august?) and received no information. Had to get it all on my own, glad to share...

What I recommend you to do is ....

Get in touch with your MDS person, see if she can find out who else in your area actively fills out the section P of the MDS, which Nursing rehab is based on.

The MDS is another specialty, which NR is a good basis for running from.

Read the MDS manual for section P, as it has great information for what requirements are.

I have also found these few pieces of information helpful:

Mapping the literature of rehabilitation Nursing by Mark Spasser, PhD, AHIP

RehabPerspectives Sponsored by aegis Therapies http://www.ageistherapies.com

Restorative Bursing and the MDS by Marjorie Ray, RN, Washington

a power point seminar that can be DL's fromt he web

and a research grant by Barbara Resnick, PhD @ university of Maryland

Testing a Restorative Care Nursing Program which was run from 2002-2007.

You can also check NYASHA ProCare for REstorative Nursing seminars, tehy avhe some and are very good. I attended one in October.

I found all of this by Goodsearch.com powered by Yahoo! keying in different terminologies learned from each new piece of information I found.

I'll be watching your link to see what else you get!

good luck, and if you come up with anything, let me know.
