Ftag of the Week – F727 RN 8 Hrs/7 days/Wk, Full Time DON

This week’s CMSCG Blog Series “Ftag of the Week” is F727 RN 8 hours a day / 7 days a week, Full Time DON, which is part of the Nursing Services Regulatory Group. This regulation is one that all providers are aware of, but it warrants a reminder thanks to a QSO memo released late last week about the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ).

The regulation states that unless a waiver is in place:

  • A facility must use the services of a registered nurse for at least 8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week
  • The facility must designate a registered nurse to serve as the director of nursing on a full-time basis
