Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for 8 consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, as required. Review of the weekend schedule for October 2024 revealed that there was no RN coverage on Sunday, October 20, 2024. During interviews, the scheduler stated that when an RN was not available to work on the weekend, attempts were made to secure agency RN coverage, and if unsuccessful, either the Director of Nursing (DON) or Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) would go into the facility. However, the Regional Clinical Consultant confirmed that there was no evidence of an RN working on the specified date.
