I find it hard to believe that it's even legal to have 1 nurse for 100 pts. Especially if you have skilled medicare pts. If your DON thinks this is okay, then maybe it's time you go to the Administrator. Maybe if he is made aware of the understaffing problem and about how many nurses are quitting he might do something. Try going to your HR person too. They can be a big help. That's her job. If things don't improve then let them know that you can't continue to work there and put your license at risk. Good luck!!
