What is the nurse to patient patio in Scottsdale and Phoenix hospitals on medsurg units? In the hospital I work we have 7 pts at night with no unit secretary - so all physician orders nurses enter in the computer themself. My pay is 30 per hour. Due to low census, we are being cancelled once a week ( since the beginning of April). I just wondered, how other places are? I have worked only for one hospital, and I have thought that this is normal. But my collegues are saying that thing are different in other hospitals, and some hospitals have 1:4 ratio on med-surg units for the same pay.
