MNA Stepdown/Intermediate Care Staffing Proposal
PCU, Wilks, and Knowles care for patients requiring a higher level of care. Our proposal would ensure that any patient needing this higher level of care would not be part of an assignment of more than three patients.- This limit would apply regardless of how many patients in a nurses’ assignment are considered stepdown/intermediate level of care.
- The proposal is meant to enhance current RN staffing. Our proposed contract language would prohibit the hospital from increasing the patient assignments of other staff nurses.
