Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was present on duty for at least 8 hours each day, as required. Review of the nursing schedules and staffing documentation for the week in question showed that there was no RN scheduled or present in the facility on two consecutive days. The Director of Nursing (DON) was on call during these days but did not report to the facility. Interviews with the Administrator and DON confirmed that no RN was working in the facility on those dates. This deficiency affected all residents in the facility, which had a census of 14 at the time.
