Hang on a minute who is blaming the nursing staff?

How does the fact that there is a rapid turnover of patients mean that the floor can't be mopped properly by the cleaners? If there aren't enough cleaners then there need to be more cleaners. This is NOT a criticism of the nursing staff but it's people jumping down the throats of people who complain that puts people off complaining.

I'd have thought nurses would also have wanted to work in clean conditions.

Public toilets have cleaners in situ who are in and out of there all day making sure they are clean. Supermarkets have notices saying theirs are checked regularly but if you find they are not clean please advise customer services - but we should expect LESS from an NHS hospital?

No wonder standards are slipping.
