BiologyNerd,
Are you sure this is a nursing home?, or is someone lying to you?, If yes, it is a nursing home, then maybe it serves the stars and the ex-American presidents and senators.
The nursing home that I use to work had 200 beds, 1 RN supervisor, 5LPNs, 8-10 CNAs. This is evening shift and is considered to be a good place to work because of the staffing.
I work part-time on night shift 6p to 6a and care for 56 residents with 4 CNA's (if the all show up). My hall includes the locked unit. The other nurse has about 50 or so residents and has 3 CNA's. At any given time, we'll have 10 to 15 people up and wandering, watching TV, or just hanging out at the nurses station. NEVER A DULL MOMENT!

What is night shift like? At the nursing home I'm looking at there are 64 beds. They have: 2 full time RN's, 28 CNA's, 8 LPN/LVN, 6 full time administrators. As well as an occupational therapist, physical therapist, etc.
Is that good or bad?
