title: The interdependence of exempt salary status and professional nursing practice.
abstract: Because a salaried/exempt compensation structure is assumed to support professional status, it is a part of several professional practice models. The authors identify the placement of the salary component in a hospital-based professional nursing practice model and propose necessary conditions for successfully introducing a salary compensation structure.
