I can't see it being less safe.
That would cover a large number of safety things. We have baseline staff in our unit, for example. There are six baseline nurses and we're not supposed to have more than six baseline nurses unless it's necessary, such as when we have an influx of patients. If there were more nurses there at baseline and somebody was there to help if something was happening, yes, that would definitely help. Increasing the baseline for nurses being there would be a beneficial thing.
However, right now, given the current circumstances and the way the policies are implemented, there has to be a very good reason. If there's no justifiable reason to have more nurses, due to the algorithms they have in place, there won't be more nurses coming in.
