Hi I work for an agency in PA, and I just recently worked a shift at my first nursing home ever.....and I had 21 patients. I have read somewhere the ratio is 1:20. This is outrageous! There is no good way to give "good" care to 21 patients. Meds, vitals, blood sugar checks, and charting in 8 hours...ha ha ha.
anyone else have high ratios like this? What are other states ratios?
