Wow, you must feel justifiably unsafe. I work on a 24 bed acute care Behavioral Health unit. We do not care for anyone going in to DT's, they go medical. We staff 1 nurse (typically an RN) to 4-5 patients and we also have 2 PCT's, our unit is segmented into 2 sections, one for the more acutely psychotic or patients requiring more care and monitoring. I know we sometimes feel understaffed so I can only imagine how you must feel.
