8-12 patients?! Yikes! My floor is a CVT/cardiology/tele floor at a large teaching hospital with a quick turnover rate, 44 beds and a staff of 12 RNs. We take 3-4 on days and 5-6 on nights and you're guaranteed to run all day long ( and all night for that matter ) I'm a new grad and it's all I can do to keep my head above water. I love my floor, it's a lot of fun and lots of good support from the more experienced RNs. I would never have accepted the job if my co-ordinator told me patient ratio was 12-1! Eeep!
