I left nursing mainly due to unsafe pt/nurse ratios. Talked to administration to no avail.

As a psych nurse who works in a hospital that staffs to the barest legal minimum, I cannot shout loudly enough that acuity ratios must change! Help us provide safer environments for our patients. Please staff us better to allow opportunities to provide more therapeutic activities, groups, and one on one meetings.

We deserve credit for all that we do even though none of us went into this profession for praise or a pat on the back for a job well done. It takes true compassion, love and understanding to take care of our patients the way we do 365/24/7!!

We need/require ratios across the country. Hospitals will never do the right thing on their own. Nurses will ALWAYS stand up for their patients and safety. Stop spreading nurses thin, they are not machines and people require different levels of care. Give nurses time to take care of those needs.

Please help me stop the requested patient to nurse ratio that my managers want to see for night shift: 10-12:1. As a charge nurse I refuse to staff add they wish and I am always at risk to be scorned daily for my decisions in staffing. Please stand with us and be our advocate since no one else will. Safe patient to nurse ratios should be no more than 6-7:1 and the use of acuity when necessary which would drive that lower in cases where a nurse had a very high acuity team handed to them. We are only as good as we are allowed to be! Help us be the best we can be!
