Yikes! Your situation sounds unsafe for the patient. Currently our telemetry step-down unit does not take patients on Insulin drips. Our typical ratio is 1:5 and at least half of the nurses are LPNs. I sure hope Insulin drips on step-down units isn't the trend. If so, nurses have to voice their opinion on staffing rations as a united group!
