Summary
The facility failed to provide a Registered Nurse (RN) on duty for eight consecutive hours a day for two of the seven days reviewed. According to the as-worked nursing schedule, there was no RN present for the required eight consecutive hours on both Saturday and Sunday during the review period. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that only one RN worked the night shift on those days, and their hours did not meet the eight consecutive hour requirement for each day. Additionally, the DON stated that the facility did not have a specific policy for RN coverage and instead followed State and Federal regulations.
