Duties of nursing staffs are regulated by rules from various laws or ordinances. If the ward could not follow the rules, hospital administration would receive serious penalty such as reduction of medical payment or suspension of business. This paper will propose a method to calculate just enough and lowest cost supplement of nursing staffs using LP (Linear Programming). This application of LP is not explicitly proposed, although LP is one of the most popular methods to calculate the best distribution of resources. If there is no contradiction in LP problem, LP can solve the problem by all means. And a support tool we developed can reduce time and effort for the calculation dramatically. This study would offer certain reason for nursing staff supplement not to exceed necessity, so that medical resources distribution would be much more reasonable and effective.
