Staffing Pattern Formula

Staffing Pattern Computation:

Formula: Census x 5 = # of nursing personnel
8 hours(hours per shift)
Note: 5 is constant
Sample:
Census= 169 patients 38 PATIENTS
169 x 5 / 8 = 106 nursing personnel 38 X 5 / 8 = 23.75 NSG SVC PERSONNEL

Formula: Nursing personnel x 40 / 100 = # of nurses per shift
Note: 40 is constant
NURSES:
106 x 40 / 100 = 42 23.75 X 40 / 100 = 9.5 NURSES/ SHIFT
42 / 3 = 14 nurses/shift

Formula: Nursing personnel / 5 = ratio of nurse is to patient 23.75/ 5 = 4.75 PATIENTS : 1 NURSE
106 / 5 = 21
Ratio: 1:21

Formula: Nursing personnel x 60 / 100 = # of nursing attendant per shift 23.75/5 X 60 / 100 = 14.25 NA/SHIFT
Note: 60 is constant


NURSING ATTENDANTS:
106 x 60 / 100 = 64 23.75 / 3 = 4.75 NA/SHIFT
64 / 3 = 7 nursing attendants/shift 23.75/ 4.74 NA/SHIFT = 5 PATIENTS
RATIO = 1 NA : 5 PATIENTS
Ratio:
106/7 = 15 106 NURSING PERSONNEL / 3 = 7 NA PER SHIFT
Ratio : 1:15 106 / 7 NA PER SHIFT = 15 PATIENT.
RATION = 1 NA : 15 PATIENTS
