I am trying to find out what other persons nurse/pt ratios are for icu;tele & m/s. also, the number of unlicensed personnel that are available to help on the shift (unit sec; monitor techs; nurse aides/techs, etc) Curious too does the charge nurse take pts? I am a manager. I believe chg nurses should not take pts as a usual. Have been told that my hospital needs to increase our ratios. Especially would like to hear from hospitals that are around 300 beds and non teaching. Am looking to compare w/ Georgia/southeast area not for profit. Our current ratios: ICU 2-1 usual; Tele 5-6 - 1; M/S 5-8 -1. Nurse techs in ICU 1 per shift; on floors (40bed units) 2-3 per shift.Unit secretaries on all shifts. Monitor tech 1 for tele per shift. Thanks for any help! Lisa
