    Hi everyone, I was wondering what your patient ratio was for hanging chemo on an inpatient unit. I work on a med-surg Oncology unit, although most times it feels like detox unit. We are a 5:1 ratio on the floor pretty much at all times, which is awesome for overnight med-surg units). I was just wondering what the common ratio is and if having 4 other patients while hanging chemo sounds normal. Thank you!

  3. We're at a 4:1 for onc patients only and 5:1 if we've got med-surgers and/or hem-oncers without chemo.
