The AWHONN website has standards of care for any nurse/patient ratio...and I believe they are listed in the "sticky's" above the threads here.

Pitocin induction is 2:1 ratio, until second stage.

I have heard some institutions have a 1:1 ratio for pitocin (the emerald city!!!!). I do not work in such a place. Lucky them.
