Incomplete Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Daily Staff Posting included all required information, such as the facility name, the actual hours worked by nurses in each cottage, and whether the nurse on duty was an RN or LPN. Observations revealed that the staff posting in Dogwood Cottage did not display the facility name and lacked details about the nurse's credentials. The posting listed one nurse and one CNA for both day and night shifts, but did not specify if the nurse was an RN or LPN. Interviews with an LPN indicated that nurses were responsible for multiple cottages during their shifts, and the posted information did not accurately reflect their presence in each cottage. The facility also did not have a written policy for staff posting. The DON acknowledged that the current postings did not meet regulatory requirements.
