Health, Wellness, and BeautyStaffing & Scheduling4HighRegistered Nurse$ implied
Nurses in long-term care are forced to work 10-12 hour days despite being hired for 8-hour shifts due to heavy charting and medication pass workloads that extend beyond scheduled shift times.
Existing scheduling and workload management systems do not account for the actual time required for charting and medication passes, leading to mandatory overtime that is not reflected in shift planning.
