We have 99 beds, run about 8 to 12 medicare.  I am a full time RN,  I HAD a part time RN as well.  We were just told that we were "overstaffed" in the rnac department, so they have cut out the part time RN!!!   So in about a week I'm looking at doing it all myself!   And I have news for anyone here that asks,  I WILL NOT be pulled to the floor at any time!

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.

We are a 100 bed facility and have 10-15 medicare A residents at any given time. Our office is myself (RN) and one full time LPN. She has been doing MDS's for over 6 years here, and I have been here over 4 years. We divide up long term, and I do all Medicare.
we also do all Care Plans. We always feel like we are behind......Hope this Helps

I am working in a 120 bed facility.  We are running about 105 census w/ about 30 MCRs.  We have 2.0 FTEs: 1 FTE LPN 1.8 FTE RN and .2 FTE LPN.  How does this stack up against the way most facilities of this size are running?
 
Thanks!
