I was offered a job in a competitive area for an ICU step down unit. I’m excited because it’s been hard to get anything and it seems like it could be a good way to transition to ICU. However, they told me the ratio for that floor is 4-6 patients. That seems high to me? I feel like most of the medsurg floors I had clinicals on had 4-6 pt ratios. Can anyone who works on stepdown confirm if this is an unsafe ratio or will I be ok?? Thanks in advance for the advice!! 🙏
