For new nurses making $15 per hour on average, each task takes 1 hour on average to complete with a standard deviation of 30 minutes. For experienced nurses making $20 per hour, each task takes 50 minutes on average to complete with a standard deviation of 15 minutes.
Each nurse, no matter the experience level, must perform each task 20 times a week as part of their duty. In general, your hospital claims a baseline of 99% quality.
For this scenario, you are in contract negotiations and are trying to defend an amount of time allowed for the nurses to complete these tasks each week.
1. What amount of time should be allocated to nurses to perform these tasks?
- 2. Should we try to allocate more tasks to new or experienced nurses with the understanding that nurses need experience with the tasks to improve their time?
