Thanks for the reply. I totally agree about the "one being quizzed' when state comes. I definatly want to know everything about everything. As you read on a previous post, I was burnt with our last RM who is not a nurse and fouled up a very detrimental adverse resuting in a resident who died. See thread on adverse for details, if you missed it... anyways, she is no longer and I will have the RM be myself, administrator and one more nurse in house to help investigate. I can file the papers as needed. Thanks for your input.

Monica;
I think you'll find your resolution will work quite effectively.
Too many fingers involved frequently causes a lot of unnecessary confusion & can have some very negative results as you have discovered.

I recall you prior 2 posts. Thank you for sharing your experiences, thought, & questions.
Sometimes as we gain experience we forget to be open-minded & forget to analyze our current thought processes. Your posts have caused me to reexamine how I would have handles similar situations & to reflect on my own personal beliefs - - & even make a few changes in how I would likely respond as well as a few changes in our facility policy.

Thanks again for being so willing to share with us!
