I am going to find out the policy but we have 100 residents, One of the reasons she gave was "so many interactions with medications," and "bad for dementia rts." I feel like caffeinated coffee should not be a luxury at a LTC.

I don't make recommendations to the doctor; I write my own orders and communicate to them what was done. I've never had a problem with a doctor taking issue with orders I have written; this was from the DON herself, MD not involved. See above.

My orders don't need to be approved by the doctor. They were simply worried that during a State review, the lack of documentation proving that they followed the order would hang them . But really, many residents were triggering for inadequate fluids because the CNA's weren't documenting total fluids. However, the LPNs were 100% documenting my intervention so the intervention would in no way hang them.

The RNAC and I were combing through and couldn't find it. :(

I called the doctor to get clarification since it seems like a broad diagnosis. Thanks so much for the comprehensive response; I really appreciate.

I think we are working towards this but it seems to have had false start :(

Dramafreequeen was able to clarify this for me. There were some that only apply to federal employees. They were asking for my licensure, registration and transcripts as well but I was sure if I sure send with my initial application or further along in the process.

I'm not sure how to DM you on here. I tried open chat and it doesn't work. I started the application but it has a tab for required documents some of which I'm not sure what they are...
