If you are working a facility that doesnt utilize LPN's you may see 4-5 patients with a CNA. If you work in a facility that DOES utilize LPN's it would be more like 7-9 generally. Some days more some less depending on census. We dont have the ratio rules like California. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, im not complaining, but it was pretty crazy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
