How big is your facility?

Hi, I'm curious. I'm currently working on a project with an American company, and more and more I realise how different things are between the USA and the UK.

One issue is the size of facilities. In the UK our hospital is of an average size, for the UK. We have 800 beds in our facility. How big is your facility, wherever in the world you nurse???

3,680 beds.

But it's a correctional facility. ;)

808 beds

149 beds

I work for a health care system non profit which includes five acute care hospital locations, as well as other healthcare facilities and services, which include a home health agency, a nursing home, outpatient treatment and diagnostic centers, physician offices, a children's hospital and a rehabilitation hospital. The largest hospital in our system is 420 beds. to the smallest being 60 beds.

The facility I work in is part of a larger network of freestanding medical offices, hospitals, acute rehab, etc. My facility has a total of about 450 approved beds, average census is around 350-380. The approved beds include those for new units opening soon but currently under construction.

When I first started nursing, I started out in a rural facility where we were considered to have a high census if there were 30 patients in-house...now I work on floor that has 25 beds and is often full. What a change that was!

We are a level 1 trauma center in the inner city Detroit. We have 900+ beds and will be opening more soon.

350 beds....Level II Trauma Center with high risk OB. No peds. Like mamma d above, our licensed beds are much higher at 500 than what we actually use. Our census typically is about 250 to 300. It stays over 300 "in season" which in Florida is the winter.

OK - we have a different system in the UK, so when you say level 1 center or level 2, can you explain what that means?

142 beds (all private!!) mid size hospital

300 beds, community hospital, not for profit (yeah, right!)

Our max capacity is 250, but that's if we're bunking them up in classrooms, and putting inpatients in the GI lab. :smokin: Our average census is 155; a SLOW day is in the 110's and a packed house is 170 and up. If we see 190, we're getting very scared!

We're a level II trauma center also.
