How large of a facility are you working for? why id everyone suddenly leave? Did they quit or were they asked to leave by corp?
I know a few people who are DON's and staffing coordinators so I will talk to them. What state are you in?
Best of Luck, Michelle E

Hi, Group!
Well, so much can happen over the course of a week. Most of you know that I had resigned from my position and should have been starting a new job this week. In the month since I gave my resignation, the management group, DON and administrator have resigned. Much negotiation followed and I had decided to stay on as MDS Coordinator.
Well, as of today, I am acting DON. It was very, very sudden, (DON, Administrator and staffing coordinator all essentially just walked out this am.) I had decided last night to apply for the job, and was handed keys, pager , phone and staffing book this am.
I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BEING A DON!
Anyone out there with DON experience, and if there are current DONs on the list, please email me privately. I have so many questions I don't know where to start.
Thanks in advance.
Holly
