ANA believes that providing nurses with the authority to establish staffing plans with the ability to adjust based on patient acuity, staff experience and skill mix, and available support and resources may only be possible through legislation. This is not a "one size fits all" approach to staffing. Instead, it tailors nurse staffing to the specific needs of each unit, based on factors including patient acuity, the experience of the nursing staff, the skill mix of the staff, available technology, and the support services available to the nurses. Most importantly, this approach treats nurses as professionals and empowers them to have a decision-making role in the care they provide.
