- Focuses on achieving a specific mix of different types of personnel
Mixing qualifications based on nurse classification
- Examples: All-RN, RNs & LPNs, regulated vs. unregulated nurse
What nurse classifications are regulated vs. unregulated? RN (by BCCNM), LPNs; CNAs are not regulated
A richer staff/skill mix= a higher proportion of RNs
Mixing qualifications based on years of experience
- Balancing junior and senior staff member
- New grad vs. > 5 years of experience
Staff mix vs. Skill Mix - correct answer ✔✔Skill mix is a more contemporary HHRO strategy (want to focus
on skills rather than staffing mix)
- How many people can do certain skills
A shift in our thinking about staffing
From mixing staff based on classification or experience to mixing staff based on their knowledge, skills,
competencies and roles
E.g., Does the team have the required skills to perform their roles and competencies (e.g., assessment
and care planning, educating patient and families)?
Staffing Concerns - correct answer ✔✔Nurse staffing literature is limited
