We are a nurse consulting service with very similar numbers....aprox 50 conuslts a month, and daily census aprox 8-10.
Our program has 1.5 FTE (nurses), no physcian.
We utilize social work, etc. already on the floors, and work closley with a pharmacist with extensive pain management background (but she has no dedicated hours to Palliative Care).
What size is your hsoptial? Ours is 170 beds, but building a large addition and will soon increase in numbers.
We also feel very busy!
