What is the average patient to nurse ratio in the hospitals in Florida?
I know that ICU, for example has a lower ratio, but I'm talking about
a med/surg floor?
I have now anywhere from 6 to 8 patients, and depending on the pt.
I feel that is too many,,,,sometimes I feel like I spend 90% charting and
10% with patients...I hate that,,,,,,
Just curious,,,if anyone would care to answer that question for me
