Hours getting cut

My hours aren't getting cut on night shift, but it's so frustrating to see hours being cut for other staff nurses and CNAs in my facility. For the past week, the 3-11 med nurse hours have been cut completely, leaving a med pass for about 29 residents to one nurse on my floor, CNAs and day nurses are being sent home early, and only 3 CNAs are being put on for the 7-3 shift rather than four.

I really wish I could understand more why my company/building is doing this. I even got a note saying that there's a problem with the "overtime" that I'm accruing by spending approx. an extra hour a week giving report do the day shift (I only work 32 hours, so for me, this isn't OT).

Can anyone provide insight as to this issue? I'm not sure how the hours work in accordance with the current census in the building.

Wow, you must have quite the residents if you only need two aides at night for 59 people! I take it either most of them are continent/ambulatory/not fall risks?

When hours are being cut and people are forced to take vacation time, layoffs can't be far behind. If it were me working in this type of atmosphere, I would obtain a part time job elsewhere to fall back on in anticipation of the ax falling. Beat them to the punch and save oneself from being unemployed.
