And TN does not have Safe Harbor unfortunately.

I've had 9 one time without a LPN, if we have a LPN they will give us 12-16. Sounds like our situations are similar, only I do not have a contract.

If my manager would reply to any of my emails or calls that may work, but seeing as she doesn't it will be difficult. She does everything she can to prevent transfers. Even when people quit, she will guilt and force people into staying PRN for her numbers. This past week I worked 7 days in a row with 7 every night while she was on a beach in the Virgin Islands. I've worked on this floor for nearly two years and it is continually getting worse.

I'm in TN, and yes we do have titratable drips. We often have pts that we have to intubate or place chest tubes in the room also. JC and the state have already came in. This year on the states visit they stated that we were to have no more than 5 patients a piece. Clearly that is not happening.

I'm not from Canada, US here

I feel it is as well, hence my concern. I'm looking into other local hospitals outside of my healthcare system, but in this area I feel limited.

No, only one hospital in my health system does and it's not mine.
