TWnursingstudent! where are you? That's a lot of responsibility for one nurse. I work at a 250 bed hospital we have 4-5 RN and 1-2 LPN at nights depending on the census. My floor holds 40 patients.

i work on a unit that staffs 1 nurse for 6 patients at night...no CNA, no LPNS, just RNs with 5-6 patients each

We have about 47 residents right now - staffing is one RN (charge nurse) and 3 CNAs. We have 3 halls unevenly distributed with residents.

We are a 120 bed facility. We usually have 3 nurses on nights. Usually 2 LPN's and 1 RN. We each have from 35-40 residents each. No we do not have a night shift supervisor on nights. :)

The reason I ask is that we have 90 beds, usually a census of 80, and I have two charge nurses, one supervisor and five nursing assistants. I am trying to cut back to two charge nurses, no supervisor, and am getting a lot of resistance. Our facility is very low key, a couple G tubes, nothing else complicated. They have no treatments and do no resident care, other than checking if an alarm goes off or helping turn residents. I came in on 2 11-7 shifts and saw very little action.

I think that 2 nurses and 5 aids would be fine. 40 pts per nurse. What do the CNAs do all shift? That is great staffing even with the max of 90 residents.
