The Nursing schedule is created to ensure CNA staffing ratios reflects the current census per shift. Each shifts CNA staffing is adjusted based on census. When additional staff is needed to meet ratios, shifts are posted on our staffing portal, bonuses are offered, phone calls and text messages are sent to staff. The facility will utilize agency to assist with open shifts when needed. The facility attendance policy is followed for staff and disciplines occur per policy. Attendance is tracked on a calendar and reviewed weekly. The facility holds a monthly retention committee meeting and ads are posted on Indeed for open positions. Interviews are conducted immediately. We have a dedicated recruiter to assist with recruiting and hiring new nursing staff.
The Administrator or designee will educate the Nursing Admin, HR, the scheduler and RN Supervisors on the staffing PPD and how to adjust. A staffing meeting will occur daily to review ratios with the NHA, DON, HR and scheduler. Daily recruiting calls with the NHA, HR, and recruiter occur to update the status of new applicants and interviews. The 3 week DOH Staffing Calculator Tool will be updated daily to monitor hours. The Audits will be taken to QAPI for review.
