Review of the 1702D report for quarter 4 of 2025 (July 1 through September 30) and staffing schedules identified during an average week, Monday through Friday, during the day shift, there were several days that multiple registered nurses had been working.
These hours had been submitted to PBJ as direct care RN'S rather than RN's with administrative duties.
For example, on:8/26/25, 6 registered nurses were coded as RN's (direct care staff with no administrative duties) on the report.
Staffing schedules identified 4 of 6 RN's were scheduled for administrative duties (RN-E, RN-C, RN-D, and the DON) and should not have been coded as direct care staff.8/27/25, 6 registered nurses were coded as RN's (direct care staff with no administrative duties) on the report.
Staffing schedules identified 4 of 6 RN's were scheduled for administrative duties (RN-E, RN-C, RN-D, and the DON) and should not have been coded as direct care staff.9/30/25, 5 registered nurses were coded as RN's providing direct care on the report.
Staffing schedules identified 3 of those RN's were scheduled for administrative duties (RN-E, RN-C, and RN-D) and should not have been coded as direct care staff.
Interview on 4/1/26 at 9:57 a.m., with the director of nursing (DON) identified they had not separated weekday RN'S with administrative duties from RN'S who provide direct care to residents on the PBJ submission information.
The DON reached out to an unidentified corporate manager who further revealed they were unaware RN'S with administrative duties should be coded by their job type and category and not as direct care RN's.
The corporate manager and DON confirmed this was likely the reason for the staffing discrepancy between the weekday and weekend staffing hours. A policy was requested; however, none was provided by the end of the survey period.
