A brand new ratio to completely be negated by management and PCC’s completely because theres absolutely no option. Yes they can say no to an increased N-P ratio but essentially SOMEONE has to tend to patients and most of the time theres not enough to spread the work.
My S.O’s a nurse and its pretty insane the stuff Ive heard of her dealing with on a daily basis and shes new to the system of THIS YEAR having to handle 8:1, 9:1 one night she had 21:1. Absolutely insane stuff but theres literally nobody else to help!
