How many beds do you have? What is your ratio? Do you have telemetry? What types of post-ops do you get? What is the average length of stay?
What are your patients like? Are they obese, continent, walkie-talkie, oriented etc etc? And anything else I am probably forgetting!
Just wondering because just talking to nurses from the 3 surgical floors here it seems like there are a lot of differences, but also a lot of similarities. I'm starting on a general surgical floor soon so I'll give my input after I'm up there for a little while.
