that the nursing home connected to VA in Minneapolis (everyone here calls it the "old soldiers home" is also doing this. Apparently, they've also cut back on staffing as well - relying more on aides than nurses. As a result of these policies they are losing even more of their skilled nursing staff because the nurses are not just overworked, but concerned about the decline in the quality of care when the RNs are overly tired and when fewer RNs are on staff. The local news uncovered that, since this policy went into effect, the home is reporting a lot more preventable infections and incidents like bedsores.
