Nurse to patient ratio in the Tampa Bay

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello,

I wanted to see if anyone can tell me the nurse to patient ratio in the Tampa Bay Area hospitals, especially Baycare (st. Joseph's) and Tampa General particularly the med surg floors

I work at Florida hospital and it's 5 to 1, max of 6 to 1 on a medsurg unit. I used to work at an HCA facility and there it was 6 to 1 with a max of 7 to 1. I believe TGH and St Joe's, on a medsurg unit, will probably typically be the 5 to 1. Seems to depend partly on hospital chain as well as how many nurses each unit does or doesn't have. And specialty medsurg units may differ depending on the type of patients too.

I was with BayCare two years ago and it was 6:1 on M/S and Tele floors for nights. But also with a free charge.
