Nursing Home Staffing |
The Biden administration introduced a minimum staffing rule for nursing homes requiring at least 3.48 hours of nursing care per resident daily. The mandate, phased in over three years (five years for rural areas), also specifies that nursing homes must have an RN on site at all times, among other provisions. The nursing home industry strongly opposed this, citing
challenges with existing workforce shortages and financial burdens.

Stand! |
STAND+ (formerly Gales®), a footwear company dedicated to enhancing workplace safety and comfort, has released its latest line of energy-dispersive, non-slip shoes, which aim to reduce accidents and alleviate pain and fatigue associated with standing for long periods. Initially targeting the healthcare industry, the company is looking to broaden its customer base to include food services, hospitality, and industrial sectors, which could see substantial cost savings by reducing workers’ comp claims related to slip-and-fall.

Sutter Strike |
Workers at the Sutter Center for Psychiatry in Sacramento, California, held a 3-day strike this week, seeking a contract that improves wages, maintains affordable health benefits, and addresses staffing levels and concerns about patient conditions. The National Union of Healthcare Workers represents around 150 workers at the center, including mental health therapists, nurses, housekeepers, and others. Workers express frustration over stagnant wages and overwork due to understaffing.

FINANCE FRIDAY WITH NETWORTH NURSE |
High Cost of Living and Nursing Retirement |
Nurses tell me that the high cost of living is one of the main reasons they can't save for retirement. Investing in your retirement is a balancing act. But, if you want to save for the future while still taking care of what you need today, there are proven strategies you can use.
Create your financial roadmap: A well-defined plan will help you prioritize your spending, save for retirement, and pay down debts effectively.
Stick to your budget: Develop a budget that accurately reflects your current lifestyle. By sticking to a budget, you can ensure your money is wisely allocated to meet your financial goals.
Make paying down debt a priority: This may sound counterintuitive, but reducing your debt burden will give you more
disposable income to allocate towards savings and future needs.
All TNB members have open access to our platform so that you have the resources needed to plan for a prosperous retirement.
