Summary
The facility failed to provide a Registered Nurse (RN) on duty for at least eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, as required by regulation. Review of the Payroll Based Journaling (PBJ) report and the facility's nursing schedules for November and December 2024 revealed that there was no RN coverage on 12/28/24. Administrative staff confirmed that, despite efforts to cover RN shifts, there was no RN present in the facility on that date. The facility's staffing policy requires an RN to be present daily, but this standard was not met on the identified day.
