During an observation on 10/01/2024 and 10/02/2024, the staffing schedule posted at the nursing station revealed 12-hour shifts for nursing staff. There was no RN listed on the schedule for 10/01/2024 and 10/02/2024. During an interview on 10/01/2024 at 02:09 PM, LVN B stated RNs worked 12-hour shifts and a RN was available at least 8 consecutive hours in the day. When the regular RNs were not available, the DON served as the nurse for that day. LVN B was not aware of any residents going without their needs being met due to a RN not being scheduled because the DON was available to meet those needs. During an interview on 10/01/2024 at 02:16 PM, SC A stated she made the schedule for the facility. There were two RNs that worked 12-hour shifts and if they were not available, then the DON worked as the RN for that shift when available.

SC A had never known a time when a resident needed care or services by a RN and did not receive care because the facility called an agency RN through a service called Dynamic access that provided resident care in the absence of a scheduled RN. During an interview on 10/02/2024 at 08:39 AM, the DON stated they do not have a facility policy for RN coverage.

The director of nursing may serve as a charge nurse only when the facility has an average daily occupancy of 60 or fewer residents. The DON stated there are two full time RNs and one RN that worked PRN. The DON stated that she worked as the RN on shift when there was not a RN available for the 8 consecutive hours each day as often as she could, but she was not always available. DON stated she was aware there was supposed to be 8 hours of RN coverage every day in the facility, which was why she worked to cover those hours. The DON stated she had interpreted the policy differently and did not know her 8 hours could not count as the required RN 8 hours since the facility census was over 60. The DON stated the current census was 86 and the average census was around 80 for the past three months. The DON did not believe she was working as the charge nurse when she was working in the facility as the only RN. The DON did not believe the charge nurse needed to be a RN. The DON stated there was not a potential negative outcome to residents for not having a RN scheduled because her LVNs were very well trained. The DON stated that it was difficult to hire an RN to work at the facility. The DON reviewed the staffing schedule for 07/01/2024, through 10/02/2024 and agreed there was not a scheduled RN on 19 days.
