Which states set Oncology staffing by law
California: Minimum nurse-to-patient ratios
General acute care hospitals must keep licensed nurse-to-patient ratios by unit, for example 1:2 in critical care and 1:5 in medical-surgical units.
“Commencing January 1, 2005, the licensed nurse-to-patient ratio in medical/surgical care units shall be 1:5 or fewer at all times.” Cal. Code Regs. tit. 22, § 70217(a) (source: Cal. Code Regs. tit. 22, § 70217(a))

Hospital nurse staffing plans must ensure unit ratios such as 1:2 in intensive care and 1:4 in medical-surgical units.
“In a medical-surgical unit, a direct care registered nurse is assigned to no more than four patients.” ORS 441.765(2)(j) (source: ORS 441.765(2)(j))
Each from the state's own code or regulations. Other states set a staffing committee or public reporting instead: every state's law.
