8.1 Using the information from Exercise 7.14, first determine the final core-level FTEs for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Coronary Care Unit (CCU), where registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) work on a 4/40 scheduling plan and nursing aides (NAs) on a 5/40 scheduling plan; then reevaluate the final core-level staffing requirements if all staff work on either a 5/40 or a ( 2 days 8 hours +2 days 12 hours)/40 scheduling plan, and make recommendations. 8.2 Prepare a cyclical work schedule for a behavioral care practice with three staff members. 8.3 Prepare a cyclical work schedule for a small group practice with nine staff members. (Hint: Use three-week or four- and five-week combinations.)
