The assignment goal is to create a staffing plan and budget for a new 16-bed medical/surgical unit at Grady Hospital. This involves aligning with community caregiver-to-patient ratio standards and using CFO-provided organizational data. Budget concepts like FTE, minimum staffing, and staff mix optimization will be applied. Key budget scenarios like employee PTO, incidental overtime, and RN overtime with agency staffing will be considered. Turnover rates for RNs, NTs, and Unit Secretaries will also be factored in to predict staffing needs and costs. The average daily census of 12 patients will guide staffing levels and resource allocation, ensuring efficient resource use and cost effective staffing for the new unit's success at Grady Hospital
