Nevada SB182 revises provisions relating to the staffing of health care facilities. It mandates specific nurse-to-patient ratios in various hospital units, such as one direct care nurse per patient in operating rooms and critical care units. The bill requires hospitals in counties with populations over 100,000 to establish technical and service staffing committees, composed of staff members elected by their peers. These committees must collaborate to develop a documented staffing plan, ensuring adequate staffing levels.
