If California ever had one nurse for every three beds, a large number of nurses must have died, because they are having problems hiring enough nurses to have one for every five beds. Adequate nursing levels adds very liitle to total cost. At $65k per year each, and one nurse for five beds, nursing costs $107 per day for 24 hour coverage. If you need to be in the hospital but have to cut your nursing staff down to one nurse for every 10 beds in order to save $53 per day, something is terribly wrong. What state is this you live in where hospitals don't offer pain management? .
