I have been at this facility for over 4 years. I never have worked the floor here, but did at other facilities as mds coord. I have refused when askied and so far this has been backed up bu my administrator, although begrudgingly I have an LPN in my office, she has worked the floor a few times, but only when she feel she has the time, she has refused more than said yes. We have no "call" but we are required to work 3 weekends a year, approx 6 hrs each day, to be a House Manager. This requires little but feeding residents to help, making sure the cat boxes are cleaned, delivering the newspaper, intreracting with families. Since all the "office " people have to so this including Activity, business office etc, there is no specific nursing aspect to it except feeding, dining room duty.
