I have noticed in the past day or so that several
of us on the list serve have indicated that they do not have access to email at
work. I just took for granted that most of us access the list while at
work. Is there some reason or rationale that those of us who do not have
access at work? Just curious.

During my 10 years in MDS, I have only had 2 jobs
where we were allowed internet access to get email. Got fired from one
job for going on line to look something up at the CMS site. It was
considered "surfing".

Try to take some
time during your work day to review the emails. I consider it part of
my job to be informed.

I do
have a manual and it is on my lap the whole time I am at the computer.
We are the only facility on the island that does MDS. We are very
small, 25-35 residents. I did not get much training, as our consultant
was trying to catch us up from our computer going down in June, she was
there for two weeks. I started in the middle of August.
(surveyors came on my second day on the job) I do all the
sections some of the time and some of the time I can get our other
departments (activities, social services) to do their sections.
Therapy always comes through for me and they give me the information for
their section.
I did
join AANAC and have been reading emails almost every night after work.

I
think the best place for you to start is the RAI Manual...do you have
one?
Also, it will be
very important for you to check out (and if possible join) AANAC's
membership.
Tell us...how
much training you have had in the process?
How
many beds are you responsible for?
What sections do
you complete?
Yes, you did ask
a basic question...but we are all basic to some extent...as the
regulations are always changing or being clarified. So feel free to
ask basic questions...infact, we welcome them! You are a brave
person to write...others like to lurk....so you may be asking a
question that others are thinking about.
I
won't bore you and others with the answers as I am sure the questions
are being answered as I write this.
Don't try to be
a perfectionist you will disappoint yourself. Always, know you will
always be learning regardless of the seminars, conventions and
articles...no one has it all! Which is the reason you can feel free
to ask the questions on this listserver...someone out there may have part
of an answer and others will expound of that answer...this is all part of
growing with the MDS. Oh one last thing...try not to look at the
position as a job...but rather as a career I do believe you will find much
more rewarding.

I am very new
to the whole MDS process and am trying to learn everything at
once. I am the only one in this area that does this job, so
I am learning a lot from everyone's emails. (thank
you)
I have a very
simple question-- What is the time frame for me to complete the MDS
after the ARD? And how long for me to transmit?
Forgive me for
the basic question.
