Re: job responsibilities

[Pjschaeffer2003]

I just found this board recently, and am new to my job since November,  but it seems that my routine is not the norm(I hope) as I seem to have an enormous number of job duties.
They include:  scheduling for pps/obra, (and longterm admissions),  mds, raps, and careplan completion, locking/transmitting to the state, attending care plan meetings (which some days take alot of the day), following up with floor nurses on concerns;  I'm still very much in learning mode, still learning the best way to capture rug levels among other things.  The Social Worker helps with the longterm resident obra scheduling;  The Dietary dept., Activities dept., Social Worker and I are responsble for our own data entry including the mds, raps, and care planning,  and the 4 of us are the care plan team that meets with family.  I'm also responsible for getting all the signatures in the right places at the right times etcetcetc as well as printing & editing all the paperwork.  oh, I also give the rehab dept a daily patient by patient list of all Part A residents receiving skilled services.  a few other things also,  including  being on the U/R committee, the Risk Management committee,  (just time consuming and irriatating when I have so much other work)  oncall for one week a month as well.  I'm sure I'm forgetting some things right now.  
I work in a 120 bed SNF in Florida and feel slightly less overwhelmed than I did since finding this tremendous resource in aanac, it has been a lifesaver!  (Did I mention that this has been a self-training position as the DON who hired me was dismissed one week later, I had one week of on the job training with the (disgruntled) previous coordinator.   But -
I am enjoying the challege so far, have alot of autonomy and the backing of the new DON which helps alot.  
thanks for this question, very interesting.
