The place I work at now does not handle mag pts. The place I used to work at would have 1:1 for labor, and 1:2-3 for postpartum (and the other two would be easy vag deliveries).
More important than the number of total pts was the acuity level. If there was a mag pt, you wouldn't also have a fresh C/S.

Same where I am.

At my last job this is how we staffed. At my first job....well let me just say how surprised I was to be 1:1 on a mag pt in labor when I started working at my last job.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to have something clarified. In the AWHONN nurse patient ratio chart posted in several other posts, does a Mag pt fall under an "pt with med or OB complications" or "antepartum with complications"? I work in a high risk ante unit and our manager is saying that AWHONN standards for mag patient ratios are 1:3 now. I would just like some clarification on this. THanks!!
