AOD Instructs on 6D/8D only
6D: Intrathecal trials (not stage 2’s- we can put them on any neuro pt unit)
8D: EEA’s, Gleolan, Pentalafen, Chiari malformations
Reviewing ratios and bed spaces as this comes up frequently as a concern:
5G: 22 beds all semi-private, typically runs with 4 nurses- meaning assignments are 2 nurses with 6:1 and 2 nurses 5:1
6D: 16 beds all private, typically runs with 3 nurses- meaning assignments are 1 nurse 6:1, 2 nurses 5:1
8D: 15 beds all private, typically runs with 3 nurses- meaning assignments are 3 nurses 5:1
8G: 23 beds- 9 private rooms and 14 semi private rooms, typically runs with 4-5 nurses- meanings assignments are 2 nurses with 6:1 and 2 nurses 5:1
