Nurse patient ratio

There needs to be a standard in nursing care and one way to achieve that is be reducing the number of patients a nurse can take, if we make it a law then hospital and places of care will have to obey or be fined, thus in return allows better care to be provided, doesn't cause burn out and less errors or even death bc a nurse is unable to safely care for her patients in a timely mannor! It also will put the liability back on the hospital instead of the nurse if something should happen to the pt when the guidelines aren't being followed!
