Georgia Nurse:Patient ratio???

[Ashb1492]

Hello,

I am an ER nurse in NE New Jersey. I'm considering moving to Atlanta, Georgia. I was wondering what the nurse to patient staffing ratio is for day shift. Thanks!

The only state that has mandated ratios for all types of hospital units is CA. You will find that this is 100% facility specific elsewhere. And while the facility may tell you the ratio is one thing, reality may be entirely different.
