In a twenty four hour period one patient will get 3 hours of "nursing" care. It could be 15 minutes every 2 hours or it could be 3 hours all at once. Basically they take the number of patients x 24 hours then divide by the number of hours the RNs, LPNs, and nurses aides are paid. Its a way to compare workload between floors or between hospitals.
For comparison purposes, in most intensive care units, patients get 12 nursing hours per patient day, in a general hospital it can range from 3 to 8. Remember that it includes nurses aides, and theres a big difference between 3 hours of care from a nurses aide and 3 hours of care from an RN.
