for a unit increase in the number of beds, the number of FTEs is predicted to increase by 32
for a unit increase in the number of beds, the number of FTEs is predicted to decrease by 32
for a unit increase in the number of beds, the number of FTEs is predicted to increase by 2
for a unit increase in the number of beds, the number of FTEs is predicted to decrease by 32
