Katie- Staffing and Staff engagement

Hello again everyone, Rhonda and I are working on the staffing section.  We have reviewed this section, and beleive that we should be able to answer most of the questions by talking with a few of the charge nurses on the unit.  However, I have come up with a few questions:
For Lacy and Amanda- 
1. How does the unit account for different seasonal fluctuations?
2. How do we evaluate the effectiveness/appropriateness of our staffing decisions?

For the staff survey:
1. Do you think (on average/most days) the unit is adequately staffed?
2. Do you feel that you are adequately trained/qualified to care for the patients assigned to you?
3. During a difficult and or rotating patient assignment, what ways do management, charge nurses, and other staff nurses intervene to help with patient loads?

I'm sure there are many different ways to better word these questions, and I am very open to all suggestions.  Thanks everyone!
