10216 KEARNEY COUNTY HEALTH SERVICES 2.8e+298 727 EAST 1ST STREET MINDEN NE 68959 2012-08-01 356 C 0 1 NRZX11 Based on record review, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure Nurse Staffing was accessible, visible and contained the total number and the actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed nursing staff. This affected all residents. The facility census was 30 at the time of the survey and the survey sample size was 26. Findings are: Observation on 7/25/2012 at 10:38 AM of the Nurse Staffing information posted on the bulletin board in the cove area of the south hallway next to the Nurse's Station revealed there was no documentation of the total number and actual hours worked for licensed and unlicensed nursing staff. In addition, the Nurse Staff posting was posted above eye level creating difficulty for a person seated in a wheelchair to easily access the posting, the area was not well lit and the posting not always legible. A scale, copy machine and treatment cart were located in front of the bulletin board making it difficult to access the posted information. The Nurse Staff posting was located on that bulletin board at all times during the survey, making it difficult to read or review. Interview on 07/25/2012 at 10:58 A.M. with the DON (Director of Nursing) confirmed that the Nurse Staff posting had not been completed as of 10:58 AM on 7/25/2012 for the total number of staff and hours worked on the day shift. Further observation on 7/25/2012 at 3:39 PM revealed that the evening Nurse Staff hours had not been posted as the evening shift started work at 2 PM. 2016-02-01
