Re: question about san martin
Staffing ratios, per the current union contract, may be stated as 6:1, but are actually at management's discretion (per our current contract).
Therefore, no staffing ratios exist.
For example, the current ICU step-down unit (IMC) has staffing ratios of 4:1 with CNA presence. I've worked IMC with 5 patients and no CNA. I have been told that some med-surg units staff short and have staff at 7:1 ratios.
It's all at management discretion per the SEIU/ St. Rose union contract.
