). We are also have to answer calls from our apartment residents (ones who are more retirement-home-ish), and during a good night two of them call several times a night. So that's 14 pts per 2 "nurses" at night. I'm not sure if this is the norm or not.
Hope this helps a bit.

Are these your typical nursing home residents (total or close to total care) or are they more retirement-home-ish? It sounds like work can get crazy for you, steff_rn1!
