Abstract
Discrete event simulation (DES) was used to measure the effects of varying COVID-19 nurse-patient ratios on nurse workload and quality of care in a Canadian medical-surgical context. As nurses were assigned to more COVID-19 positive patients, nurse workload increased and quality of care indicators deteriorated. Implications for leaders are considered.
