We normally have 7 RN/EN nurses on the floor for 29 patients. Ratio of 1:5 with our 7th nurse being a team leader and does not take a patient load. Lately Most shifts we have 4 RN/EN nurses for the same 29 patients thats 7-8 per nurse. We are exhausted and becoming frustrated!! How do you expect Nurses to provide quality safe nursing care when we are run off our feet on a day to day basis!

We have senior nurses resigning due to unpleasant conditions, meaning we have all new nurses with less experience and therefore making it very unsafe for patients.

Patients are not receiving quality care!
