Question

Hi all. Asst Manager of a 44 Bed SubAcute Rehab here in Western NY. Census this eve was 41, and I did 1 admission to make 42. I have 2 staff nurses (LPN and/or RN, whomever they could coerce to come in), and I work as the Mgr and Desk Nurse (umm, 2 seperate positions, btw), while doing my admission, of course. =) Gotta love health care in NY. lol

for early shift the ratio is usually 1 Rn 1 HCA for 8-10 patients
for the late shift it's 1 Rn and 1 HCA for 12-13 patients
for night shift it's 2 RN's and 1 HCA for 26 patients

I work evenings, 3-11:30, ratio is 7-9 patients, depending on acuity. Run my butt off from start to finish, but with good planning, it is awesome. Love the job.
