The remaining 0.48 HPRD can be a combination of nurse staff (RNs, LPNs/LVNs, or nurse aides) to comply with the minimum. Listed below are some tables the facility can utilize to help determine their staffing needs based on the Federal minimum staffing standards, however, if State regulations require a higher standard, then the higher standard should be met.
