....and what kind of unit do you work on (ICU/Med-Surg/Tele/Ortho)? Does your unit have a ratio limit?
I work in Tele and we have 4 patients during the day, 5 at night.

Surgical PCU. Our max is 5 for day and night. Sometimes we will come in @ 1900 and a few of us start with 3 and if by 2300 the ED isn't too busy, they will float one of us or send us home if the census is low.
