I refused as I am often asleep by 10. To ask a human to function efficiently and safely at this level of work and this many hours is incomprehensible. Nurses are people too. We can make errors. Unfortunately, if we make an error a life can hang in the balance. And, sadly for your husband's friend it did. All for that extra shift differential of 3 an hour. Our patients deserve better. I refused the position and took one at a facility that does not staff like this. Was a pay cut but worth my license that's for sure.

It is dangerous if it is more than that. Thanks for sharing the document here.

Most nursing homes are for profit and they do not take into consideration the acuity level of the patients. My mother's roommate's daughter has caught medication errors on her mother. The aid on my mom's hall has to take care of 16 patients and 15 are pretty much full care. I have written to my representatives twice and have received no comments back from them. OIG has investigated several things at the nursing home. Still staffing is one of those nebulous areas in our wonderful Kentucky Commonwealth. It seems that our Commonwealth wants to control too many things with the Narcotic Bill, but forget about other areas that really need to be evaluated. What are sorry state of matters we are experiencing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
