Our facility has 292 beds with average census of 280.  We currently have 34 active MCA residents with another 10 in the 30 day window.  I do all the scheduling for the MCA resident assessments, as well as OBRA assessments for all residents.  We have 1 full time MDS nurse who also does hospital pre-admission assessments.  We have four part time assessors as well.  We do have one full time care plan nurse who handles that aspect of the process.  We average between 30 and 50 MDS's per week.  Our nurses complete all sections of the MDS except E.F. & N.  -----Original Message----- From: Kristen Tryba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 7:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: NAC hours We have 90 beds I am the only NAC, I pretty much do everything that has anything to do with the MDS.
