I recently spoke with a recruiter in this area and was told that 12 patients to one nurse was a common ratio in the Northern NJ and NYC area. IS this true?
If so this is awful!
And they wonder why the nursing shortage!
Can you someone please address this and tell me this is not so?

I passed this info on to the nurses I work with and they were furious to hear this.
