Multiple Desks in the Ward

[ageekhere]

Something that is unclear for me is what do multiple Desks in the Ward do? Does having multiple nurses in a Ward speed up patient turn around?

My understanding would be that by having more than 1 nurse in a Ward it would lead to

1. Faster patient diagnosis
2. Less down time when a nurse goes to the staff room, by having 2 or 3 desks we can be quite sure that a nurse is always in the Ward

Issues with multiple Desks and nurses for the Ward
If you do have say 2 Desks with 2 nurses and one goes to the staff or another room they will not return to the Ward if a nurse is already in there because they are not needed so they wait in the hall.

What should happen
Nurses should go to Wards that have empty desks in them if all rooms that need nurses have a nurse allocated to them rather then waiting in the halls.

Thoughts?

Each nurse adds to the speed of healing. Ward:updateHealingFactor for the exact details.

Do nurses use second desks like that in original Theme Hospital?

Ok so having more than one desk is a strategy, then the issue where not all of the nurses will return to the Ward after staff room is a bug.
