Er, what? Are you one of those trolls I hear about? The ratio varies widely depending on the specific position, but they’re not wrong. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner at a psychiatric hospital My previous role at this facility was in the ball park of 2-3 hours of chart time per 1 hour of patient face time. In my current role it’s more variable, but it’s still around 2 to 1. Mind you, that’s not all just typing notes or checking boxes - both roles necessarily involve a fair bit of reviewing of records too. And I’m not counting coordinating with the care team, communicating with family members, staff meetings that don’t pertain to patient care, mandatory training time, etc. etc…
