Anyone know where I could find printed recommended nurse to patient ratios for critical care? I am finding plenty of articles that show that a better nurse-to-patient ratio = higher quality of care...
Hi all, Ive searched high and low in these forums, but really couldnt find any threads relevant to my situation. I am an RN (ADN) with a Bachelor of Science that I had prior to starting nursing...
