HealthcareStaffing & Scheduling4HighNurse$ implied
Med-surg nurses are overwhelmed by unsafe patient assignments (5-7 patients each) after staff cuts and loss of leadership, leading to delayed or missed medications and inability to complete discharges and admissions.
The hospital relies on manual staffing decisions and incentive pay adjustments that fail to attract or retain nurses, while acuity-based tools are ignored by leadership.
