Depending on who you ask, the '''nurse-to-patient''' ratio varies. If you ask a nurse, depending on the patient population and their acuity, a favorable '''nurse-to-patient ratio''' is on the order of 1 nurse for every 2 to 4 patients. This is reasonable. If you ask a hospital administrator, a favorable '''nurse-to-patient ratio''' is on the order of 1 nurse for every 10 to 30 patients. [[I Know My Body|This is unreasonable]].
