2027 staffing grids in review
The Clinical Staffing Committee is currently reviewing and proposing each unit's staffing grid for 2027. Both leadership and frontline worker representatives are making proposals.
At the last meeting on 5/13/26, ED and ICU frontline staff presented their proposed staffing grids.
Voting is expected to take place at the next meeting on 5/26/26 at 8:30 AM.
What nurses should know
Staffing grids affect the baseline staffing expectations for each unit and shift. Frontline input matters because bedside nurses understand the real workload, acuity, patient flow, admissions, discharges, boarding, and support-staff needs that do not always show up cleanly on paper.
What nurses can do
- Talk to your unit delegate or frontline staffing representative.
- Share factual concerns about your unit's staffing needs.
- File a staffing complaint through the tracker when actual staffing does not match the grid or conditions feel unsafe.
- Keep documentation factual and de-identified.
Do not publish actual proposed grids, confidential discussion details, meeting strategy, or individual comments unless approved.
