| Measure | Monday–Friday | Saturday–Sunday |
|---|---|---|
| Total nursing | 3.122 | 2.579 |
| RN categories | 0.224 | 0.156 |
Contract staff accounted for 9% of reported nursing hours included in this quarter calculation.
PBJ reports zero combined RN-category hours on 3 days with a positive MDS census in this quarter.
Reported RN-category hours per resident day were 0.159 lower than the prior loaded quarter.

Hours-per-resident-day values are calculated by this platform from CMS-published daily PBJ hours and MDS census. For each displayed period, included hours are summed and divided by the summed census for days with a positive census. They are not CMS case-mix-adjusted staffing measures or a staffing rating.
