Staffing Changes Poll

Please take a minute to answer the poll question posted on the site. Between this site and another, I want to poll at least 100 nurses about staffing changes in the LTC/SNF area.

The last time staffing ratios were adjusted was in 1987! So much has changed in the last 25 years, the acuity of the clients in the LTC/SNF alone has increased the amount of skilled nursing care some of these people need. I think the measly "hours for nursing" requirements are outdated and need to be adjusted to reflex the actuality of floor nursing in an LTC/SNF.


PS... This is not homework or anything, I am actually thinking of getting some activism going on this.
