Its 2026-2027 clinical staffing plan
Mount Sinai Hospital: nurse-to-patient ratios by unit

Mount Sinai Health System's open jobs.
Every unit, every shift

Mount Sinai Hospital nurse-to-patient ratios by unit: common questions
What is the nurse-to-patient ratio at Mount Sinai Hospital?
By its 2026-2027 clinical staffing plan, on the day shift: medical/surgical units 3.9 patients per RN (New York's median hospital 5.0), intensive care units 1.4 patients per RN (New York's median hospital 2.0), stepdown units 2.6 patients per RN (New York's median hospital 3.7), emergency department units 2.0 patients per RN (New York's median hospital 4.5), obstetrics/gynecology units 2.3 patients per RN (New York's median hospital 2.6) and pediatric units 2.2 patients per RN (New York's median hospital 3.8). These are planned averages for each unit; the table lists every unit and the evening and night shifts.
Is Mount Sinai Hospital a union hospital?
Its plan reports a collective bargaining agreement covering clinical staff: New York State Nurses Association (4,034 employees, contract to 31 Dec 2025) and SEIU 1199 (912 employees, contract to 30 Sep 2024).
Did Mount Sinai Hospital's staffing committee agree on the plan?
Not on every unit: the committee did not reach consensus on 68 of the plan's 169 unit-and-shift plans (among them Cardiac Cath Lab - GP5 775, CICU CDSU stepdown (formerly kcc6N/S moved to GP5E), GP 7E Cardiac Intermediate Care and KCC4N), where the plan carries its members' and the chief executive's statements.
Is Mount Sinai Hospital hiring?
Mount Sinai Health System has its open jobs here, read from its own job board every day.
Sources and method
The plan as the Department publishes it in its normalized form, read table by table. "Patients per RN" is the plan's planned average number of patients one RN cares for on the unit and shift; procedural units (a cath lab, endoscopy) plan few by their nature. Read 9 Nov 2026. Every New York hospital.
