day of nursing

What's a typical day of nursing like for a rn? How many patients do you usually have? I worked as a CNA for a nursing home and my boss said it's normal to have about 14-20 patients to take care of a day.

Perhaps you could check your OTHER THREAD from 5 minutes ago...

14-20 is certainly possible in nursing homes. 1-2 is common in the ICUs. I have heard people say anywhere from 4-8+ on med/surg floors, but I don't know - I've never worked on one. OR - one patient at a time, but several cases per day. As I said in the other thread, it depends on where you work.

The pt load varies depending on the shift.On days we can have from 5-8, 3-11 about the same,midnights usually 6-8.Our hospital uses a staffing grid, NOT based on pt acuity...
