Default Re: Nurse to patient ratio in Austin
It varies from facility to facility. Some ICUs here are 1:2 (1:1 if particularly acute). Step-down at some St. David's is 1:3, at another is 1:4. Most med-surg floors schedule 1:5 but can get worse if someone scheduled doesn't come in, sometimes heavier at night. If you know the particular facility you're interested in, re-post, someone may know! Or try calling the facility itself, they ought to tell you.
