Explanation / Answer
Historical FTEs;
1 FTE is 2080 hours.
Number of FTE’s = Total Unit workload/Number of hours in a FTE
Total historical = 92,000/2080 = 44.2 FTEs.
By staff type;
RNs = 74%
74% * 44.2 = 32.7 FTEs
LPNs = 16%
16% * 44.2 = 7 FTEs
NAs = 10%
10% *44.2 = 4.4 FTEs
By Shift;
Day staff = 52%
Day shift FTE = 52% * 44.2 = 22.9 FTEs
Night Shift FTEs = 48% * 44.2 = 21.3
For next year;
Projected = 103,000/2080 = 49.5 FTEs
By staff type;
RNs = 78%
78% * 49.5 = 38.6 FTEs
LPNs = 14%
14% * 49.5 = 6.9 FTEs
NAs = 8%
8% *49.5 = 4 FTEs
By Shift;
Day staff = 57%
Day shift FTE = 57% * 49.5 = 28.2 FTEs
Night Shift FTEs = 43% * 44.2 = 21.3 FTEs
Commentary;
The FTEs have increased from 44.2 to 49.5 due to the increased projected workload. Most of the work will be done by RNs in the coming year. A substantial portion of the workload, a total of 28.2 FTEs, will be done by the day shift nurses.
