A. B. The following table provides estimates of nurse staffing work requirements per 24 hour period: C. Hospital Unit ICU CCU Post-surgical Unit Internal Medicine Unit PEDS OB/GYN/MB Assume a target utilization rate of 85% and that everything else is constant. What is the required (target) FTE level for each unit? Staffing Minutes per 24 hours 7000 8000 8500 9000 7500 6500 FTE's for post-surgical unit, internal medicine, pediatrics, and OB/GYN/MB are scheduled based on a 4/40 model (4 ten hour shifts per week per FTE). All staff nurses on these units get 10 paid holidays, 6 sick days, and 15 paid vacation days per year. How does this information affect the final required FTE level for these four units? FTE's for ICU and CCU are scheduled based on a 3/36 model (3 twelve hour shifts per week per FTE). All staff nurses on these units get the same fringe benefits (vacation, sick, holidays) as the other units in part B. How does this information affect the final required FTE level for these two units? A. B. The following table provides estimates of nurse staffing work requirements per 24 hour period: C.
