   Has anyone heard of the term, "campus of care"? I believe it is in reference to seniors? If so...what does it look like, what are the skill mix, nurse to pt. ratio, what kind of care would be involved? Many thanks

   nursegoodlove replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

   I agree - these are "horrible" ratio's...as to whether or not it's legal...I guess that will be ironed out when someone dies unnecessarily. The nurse works with one nurse aide at night and if it goes into this contingency - they bring one extra nurse...

11. "where" are the "magnet hospitals PLEASE?

    nursegoodlove replied to nursegoodlove's topic in General Nursing

    So...magnet status is really just a bunch of political rhetoric? No extra concerted efforts to recruit, retain, involve staff, educate staff, increased staff for workloads and so forth?
