I will not work the floor.  If I wanted to be a floor nurse I would be.  I am starting at a new facility in 2 weeks and that was the first question I asked in my interview. I also had the NHA but in my job description that I will not be pulled to work the floor.  Our job is too important to be pulled.  There are many others before me who can go to the floor and it does not have an inpact on the MDS/PPS process...Which means  $$$$$$$$ Our positions are too hard to fill not to keep us happy.  I hope everyone knows that :)
