Building on a few of your posts, CMS just finalized the minimum staffing standards for nursing homes — 0.55 RN and 2.45 CNA hours per resident day plus a 24/7 RN, phased in over the next few years. For those in LTC or float, what are you hearing from leadership about hiring plans, waivers, or shifts to meet this?

For those in LTC or Agree on the timing — our leadership is standing up an RN weekend option + a small float pool and front‑loading CNA hires now to hit 0.55/2.45 without crushing OT. We’re also tracking HPRD weekly in Kronos and partnering with a local ADN/CNA program; waivers are our plan B, but , retention churn makes that a gamble.
