Nurse Patient Ratio
I am responding to Robin and Sarah. Robin, your research has been a heated topic for many decades. Research continues and provides hospital administers and lawmakers on how nurse patient ratio can affect the patient’s outcome but not much has changed over the years.

Thirty years ago, when I was a new graduate nurse, I remember the exhausting 12-15 hour days I experienced working in a medical center, three days in a row and being responsible for fifteen patients while working with a Licensed Practical Nurse or a Certified Nurses Assistant. During that time I worked on a medical-surgical/telemetry floor where we also had patients on ventilators. Nurses were not able to provide proper care for their patients, and obtained needle sticks due to

    Nurses are the backbone to all hospitals. They pick up the extra load that physicians pass along to them. Within Renfrey Memorial Hospital one would understand why the work is becoming too physically demanding. Registered nurses (RNs) deliver and manage patient care. They teach them along with the public about the countless health conditions and supply guidance and emotional support to them and their families on how to care and treat themselves. Without the use of registered nurses a shift in performance feedback is sure to happen. Back in the day, meaning 100 plus years ago, women were responsible for nurturing and delivering care to children and those family members who were ill. It wasn’t until the 17th century that men became nurses and tended to the sick as well. However, in the 19th century the definition of nursing was stretched to not only tend to those who were sick and ill but also work under physicians to support them.…

    Mandatory nurse-patient staffing ratios have been a hot topic of discussion for over 15 years. As of today, California is the only state with actual state mandated nurse- patient ratios in place. I support mandatory nurse-patient staffing ratios because research has shown that patients have better outcomes when cared for by nurses who practice under state mandated nurse-patient ratios. According to the article Mandatory Nurse-Patient Ratios “support for mandatory-patient ratios is drawn from the belief that regulated nurse (RN) staffing will increase positive patient outcomes, decrease nursing shortages, increase nurse recruitment and job satisfaction (T, 2011).…

    The process of going to college, studying to become a nurse, and ultimately finding a position in our ever growing, competitive work field is quite the challenge. Now that the beginning stages of our career have been completed and we have secured our positions as an ICU nurse, we face a different dilemma daily within the workplace; understaffing. We have lost three nurses and currently, those positions will not be re-filled, leaving the workload to fall onto our shoulders to bare. Serious consideration should be given to replacing these three positions within the ICU. By having the other nurses bare the extra burden of extra hours, patients will ultimately not receive the best care possible, your remaining…

    The impact that staff shortages can have is tremendous not only to the nursing staff, our patients, but also to our organization as a whole. Having a shortage of our nursing staff in our department can reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of care that we give to our patients due to the ratio of nurse to patient. This can include delay for any patient testing and or surgery, delay in a patient being discharged, which then promotes to bed shortages and patient complaints on the care they are receiving. In addition, it also hinders the early detection of patient complications, the safety of our patients and most importantly patient error due to lack of proper communication (American Association of Colleges of Nursing/Impact of the Nursing Shortage on Patient Care, n.d).…

    Nurse staffing ratios is a growing concern that is seen by nurses everywhere, and studies have shown it is a problem. Hospitals that have insufficient staffing ratios have poorer patient outcomes, increased patients deaths, nurse burnout, higher turnovers, dissatisfaction among employees and their patients. (American Nurses Association 2013) This has led to new laws and regulations that require adequate staffing that is based on the acuity of the patients. Nurse staffing is measured two different ways; hours spent on each patient daily and how many patients per nurse. The hours spent on patient care covers registered nurses, licensed practicing nurses, and nurse aides. Increasing staffing ratios is not an easy task and according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2004), can be due to a higher level of acuity patients being seen and a gap that is nationwide in the positions available and the number of qualified…

    Currently there is no set approach used to determine how to decide nurse-to-patients ratios in health care. The two most common staffing methods used are staffing based on patient acuity and mandated nurse-to-patient ratios. The debate over how to best decide nurse-to-patient staffing ratios has been an ongoing issue. ANA President Barbara Blakeney(2012) stated “Inappropriate nurse staffing is the number one concern of nurses today. More than a decade of research has shown that RNs make the quality difference in patient care and that when RN care is insufficient, patient safety is compromised and the risk of death is increased” (p.1). Patient outcomes, nursing staff satisfaction, and cost are all things considered when evaluating the outcomes of the different staffing methods. There have been on going studies into the effects of both staffing methods on patient care. Research needs to continue to find a safe way to staff nursing facilities. Staffing by nurse-to-patient ratios or by patient…

    Nurses follow a mission when providing care to patients who need support and healing. Many times over, the patients outnumber the nurses in many communities and institutions. When these occurrences happen, it puts stress on the nurses, their nursing care, and on the leaders and managers. "Nursing shortages and health care reform have had a strong impact on the creation of current and evolving types of patient care delivery models” (Huber, 2010). In rearranging patient care, adding health care professionals with multiple skills is likely to help the nurse provide better patient care. The new arrangement created an undesirable effect with nurses and on the care of patients. “Nurse staffing intensity, which is expressed as the ratio of RNs to patient census in hospitals, has been associated with lower mortality in hospitals” (Huber, 2010). With an increase in the nurse to patient ratio, the way nurses care for patients can be compromised with undesirable patient results.…

    A nurse has a finite number of hours in a shift to complete an ever-growing number of tasks for each patient. In a shift, those tasks could include the administration of medication, physical assessment, patient and family teaching, personal needs, conferring with physicians, supervision of support staff and charting. Charting is critical, because every nurse had heard “If it you didn’t chart it, you didn’t do it.” How many of us have realized on the drive home that we didn’t record Mrs. Smith urine output or document a dressing change?…
