Survey begins

argh! Last Saturday morning at 8:30.........These people well know that most of us are better staffed during the week-I guess they decided to shake things up a bit this year.Saturday I worked with an agency LPN-she had not been on the unit for months but she was great...I'm a float and I had not been up there in a week but we worked together and things worked out very well....A few staff nurses had signed up for OT for Sunday but did not show and the supervisor had cancelled the agency...It was awful-we had 2 less cna's and I worked with a pool RN who is less then ambitious-she chatted and smoked while I ran around like a nutcase-with the surveyor up my butt all day....I came home exhausted and with a screaming headache.I took 2 tylenol PM and went to bed-did not wake up until this morning.......I will never ever work like that again.....It was entirely my own fault but I did not want to get into any kind of confrontation while the surveyor was lurking about......I volunteered myself to become a victim-I hate myself!!!!!:trout:

Did they exit today?

Hope your facility did well. Can you tell us; was there a specific area they focused on?

Hopefully you'll have a long weekend, and enjoy it. Surveys stress me out!

I'm glad to report we did well. Only 7 tags with scope and severity 4 D and 3 E. I am relieved to have it over with. We got our official letter today and my plan of correction is already 75% done. I've been there 4 months and only one or two of the management team has been there longer than 7 months. Last year they had 16 tags...I am so proud of my team I could just bust!!!
