Since you’ve already asked your dad’s nursing home, what’s their patient to RN ratio?
It was 6 to 8.. (day was probably 6, night was 8). It was a more ‘critical care’ nursing home. I didn’t make sure that I was clear on ‘RN’ vs ‘LVN’ on the question. I also know they had a staffed pharmacy with pharmacologist and pharm tech as well as staff doctors.. no surgeons though.
Scripps has always been a non-profit organization, since its first inception many many years ago. I wonder what’s the # for VA hospital. That might tell you what’s the real market rate. profit vs non-profit vs VA.
That would be interesting.. I used to work at a VA hospital, but not in that category. I was working as an engineer with R&D people in anaesthesiology.
I assume family doctors get paid a lot less then surgeons too.
That is my impression, but these charges are generally not billed as the ‘room’..
