dialysis nurse -patient ratio in PA

Published

Does anyone out there know the RN/Patient ratio in the state of Pennsylvania, or know where I can find it online? This is in an outpatient clinic setting.My Manager is saying 1:12 but doesn't know for sure, and I don't want to risk my license for anyone. Thanks

Many states don't even address dialysis units. With Davita in Kansas, it is supposed to be 1:12, although there is a tech 1:4 or 1:6.

Does that help?

I have worked in a 12 station for almost 7 years and am often the only nurse in the building. We generally have 2-3 techs. 26-30 patients (3 shifts)..
