Hello,
Does anyone know specifically what that SCU/2C unit of St. Thomas in Nashville is like? Nurse/patient ratios, acuity of patients, and what type of SCU would be greatly appreciated!

I don't work on this unit, but I do have a friend who does. She is a recent grad (a year or so) and she loves it. She has no more than 3-4 patients at a time and they are in the process of hiring more RNs and they will be working 2 pts to 1 RN.
