Re: Restorative flow sheets

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

Well, let's see...   I took the advice of a couple of people on the list and just kept my head up and my mouth closed. I was available to do my job and keep the facility going while things were just swirling into chaos. Then, last Friday, the ADON who had been so insistent on having the "top job" walked out. She and I had both interviewed for the DON position, along with a nurse who had been one of the ADONs when I was hired.  This other nurse is a really nice person, who is also extremely thorough, dedicated and mature.    She has to give a month notice at her job, and will be starting April 21.  When the ADON walked out Friday, that left me as the only full time RN.  Good news, though; my best friend came to work there as staff development coordinator. Another of our former ADONs is coming back April 15.  We have 2 LPNs in nursing admin; one does wound care and the other is doing staffing.  I still have my part time assistant.  We will probably be hiring another PT MDS coordinator and another ADON.   And they are paying for me to go to a wound care symposium in May at Disney World, with my husband and children invited along.   It's gotten so funny, with things changing and people coming and going.  I really don't want to leave, now, cuz I can't wait to see what happens next. My grandmother is in a nursing home about an hour and a half away.  My mom called me Friday to say, "Guess who the new administrator at Gran Gran's nursing home is??? Your administrator who just left!"   Heh heh.. small world.   Thank you all again for the kind words, advice, encouragement and support through this roller coaster ride.  I don't think it's over yet, but I am sure learning to hang on tight and not let the stuff get to me so much.   Holly     Holly F.

Well, wouldn't that just be nice???  To document care given?   Thanks in advance! Holly Holly F. Sox, RN, RAC-C Clinical Editor   www.careplans.com   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
