   (Number of patients in the facility during the shift)    (Number of hours in the Shift)
          (Total hours worked by RNs in the shift)
   
   
   
2. RN-to-Resident staffing ratio for a shift in a Quarter =
   
   (Total of patients in the facility for the shift over the Quarter)    (Number of hours in the Shift)
