Are any NJ Licensed facilities leaders able to help me?
The State of New Jersey requires a policy that addresses the role of DON and the identification of a backup RN during hours of operation. Would anyone be willing to share your policy with me?
Section 8:43A-8.2 - Designation Of Director Of Nursing Services
The facility shall designate in writing a registered professional nurse as the director of nursing
services, who shall be on the premises of the facility during its hours of operation. A registered
professional nurse shall be designated in writing to act in the absence of the director of nursing
services.
N.J. Admin. Code 8:43A-8.
Thank you,
