Join JKJ and ECRI for an evidence-based exploration of the critical issues surrounding long working hours for nursing staff in senior living. They will discuss the inherent risks associated with extended shifts and their impact on staff well-being and resident care. Through an investigation of case studies highlighting adverse events linked to overworked nurses and aides, They will illustrate the real-world consequences of insufficient staffing limits. Finally, we will review actionable recommendations for developing and implementing policies that promote safe working limits, ensuring a healthier work environment for nurses and improved outcomes for residents.
