Patient to Nurse Ratios: What are yours?

I have worked in long term care for 11 years as an LPN. Average amt of paitents is 40 I am the only nurse and I usually have 3 LNA's. However I have had as many as 80 paitents (on night shift) this is not safe!!! that is why I am currently taking sometime off because I feel like instead of going to work I might as well throw away my license.

State- Iowa
City- Cedar Rapids
Unit worked- Outpatient Chronic Mentally Ill Home Health
Patient load- 45-50 clients
Shift- 8am -4:30 weekends & holiday off

Missouri
Telemetry/Cardiac Stepdown
Nights
5:1 (Ratios on days are the same though, which I think is stupid and unsafe.)

Pittsburgh
PA
med/surg
6-10 (avg 8-9)
7pm-7am

we don't have lpn's, only pca's (pt care assistants)
we are lucky if we have 2 pca's on the floor with 24 patients to split between 3 RN's.

Boston, MA
Sub-acute rehab/ LTC
30 patients

Ortho/Neuro Med-surg
Days: 4-6:1
Eves: 5-7:1
Nights: 8:1

due to the high acuity of our patients, anything over 5:1 on days is unsafe. We had a nurse yesterday with 7 on days...scary

NE PA

med/surg nights 9
psych evenings 8

Bone Marrow Transplant/Cellular Therapy 1: 2-3 (depending on acuity)

LTC / SUB ACUTE
RN
3-11
up to 22 (2 unwilling cna)
11-7
up to 44 (2 unwilling/ sleeping) CNA

Chaos on wheels
