I work in an assisted living facility with 80 residents including 23 on a locked memory care unit. I work overnight and I am the only licensed person there (RN) as well as officially the Supervisor on duty. I have 3 CNAs for assisted living (approximately 60 residents) and I’m SUPPOSED to have 3 CNAs for the locked memory care unit, but there is almost always only 2. It is a state law to have 3 people in the memory care unit. I have complained about staffing to coordinator for the entire 5 months I’ve worked there and it’ll change for a little while and go right back. The residents on our locked memory care unit have significant behavioral problems and many are awake all night. There’s a reason the state law is 3 My question is: say something, god forbid, were to go terribly wrong on the locked memory care unit while there were only 2 staff. Say I knew there were two staff when there legally must be 3 but was unable to get someone else to come in and then did not call to report to state and just let it stand. As the supervisor and RN (and only licensed person present) would my RN license be in jeopardy? I have anxiety and this is really upsetting me. They keep telling me only the Director would have her license at risk if something went wrong with only two people. What is the truth? Please help me out. I love my residents but I can’t risk my license. I’m working on my RN-to BSN right now. I had no idea where to go to find the answer of whether or not my license could be held liable, so I hope someone here will know. Thank you so much.
