  1. Average nurse/patient ratio?

    JenRN119 replied to annak92's topic in Psychiatric
    I'm in an inpatient facility in New York; I work on an adolescent unit. I have had up to 24 or 25 patients. Yes, I have Mental Health workers, but I need another nurse! Yesterday I had 18, but it was so stressful I started looking at job postings today. It seems unsafe and that nurses aren't respected if they think they only need nurse for so many patients.

  2. Staffing ratios

    JenRN119 replied to MOnurse33's topic in Psychiatric
    I was never given a staffing ratio, but was surprised when I started that there is often one nurse per unit. The most patients I've had was 24 or 25, these are adolescents. I really liked this job when I started, but I'm finding it very overwhelming now. Is this normal for psychiatric nursing? I would like to stay in this specialty, but I don't want to work with ratios like this.
