Staffing Table
Your job is to fill in the following chart or at least describe what assignments each person will have during the day shift today. This is normally
Marys job, but you are helping her out since she will probably be pretty busy today. The charge nurse usually only takes one or two patients
along with the rest of their duties, but since she will be with a new grad and an LPN, you are anticipating that she will be busy. Is her being busy
sound like a reasonable projection? It will be your choice what type of staffing model you utilize such as primary, team or modular nursing.
