I work at a hospital based snf with 11 medicare and the rest long term.  We are usually full with out non medicare beds and run about 8-10 for medicare.  I am the only RN.  I am responsible for assessment of nursing sections, input of info into computer for act., dietary and my section.  Social service puts in her own info and pharmacy also.  I also do all careplans, coordinate and run weekly careplan meetings.  I am also the abuse coordinator, part of the Eden alternative committee and UR committee.  I also help out with feeding and doing floor work and God forbid if a Code is called.  I am extremely frustrated with my job currently due to poor communication from nursing staff re: d/c admits and any other changes.  Now DON is making decisions re: careplan issues and not telling me and I find out about it from the Activity aide.  Needless to say I am currently seeking employment elsewhere.  I would love to stay where I am but I do not forsee things getting better, just worse.  Now I'm off my pity party.
