All I can say is come to Oregon. The ratios their are safe and manageable.

Whats a med tech? If it is someone who passes medication the answer is no. In Oregon we have certified medication aides and they cant replace LPNS because all they are licensed to do is pass pills.

Oh......Oregon also requires that you post how many CNAS, RNs, LPNs, etc in the building, as well as, the current census. The charge nurse then signs it. When the state surveyors come into the building they look for that and if it's not there you get cited. So I think Oregon is on the ball staffing ratios.

Actually in Oregon there are staffing ratios for CNA'S. It is a 1:7 for day shift, 1:11 for eve shift, and 1:18 for NOC shift. It has made life so much better for LTC resident's.
