The cost of long-term care is a major issue for the vast majority of U.S. seniors. Most cannot afford services and supports, let alone nursing care, for any extended period of time (6 months or more). I looked at his dynamic in detail, here: https://lnkd.in/gBq9EsWR

Florida Staffing Ratios In Hospitals I am enrolled in a graduate nursing course called Healthcare Policy and Advocacy. A topic that has been on my mind is nursing issues within hospitals. As of 2024, Florida has no laws about working ratios in hospitals, but only literature has supported that they are mandated for nursing homes. This law can be found in Florida statute, 2013, chapter 400.23. A mandated ratio is important because of the increased workload of nurses and the satisfactory burn rate quality of care. There is a bill that has been called the Safety and Quality Care Act introduced in 2023; a quote from this bill states, “Four patients in medical-surgical units, intermediate care nursery units, acute care psychiatric units, and other specialty care units (GovTrack.us.2023).” California was the first state to implement a nursing ratio mandate to change patient ratios and followed suit in Pennsylvania in June 2023. Hopefully, Florida will have a change to help nurses have a safer working environment and ensure safety and quality care. •GovTrack.us. (2023.). H.R. 2530 — 118th Congress: Secure Border Act of 2023.
