title: When does a nurse become a "supervisor" under federal law?
abstract: With restructuring and skill-mix changes, nurses are delegating and coordinating nursing skills. Does this mean they are "supervisors" and not protected by the National Labor Relations Act? Not necessarily. These authors clarify several myths related to the Supreme Court ruling on nurses as supervisors and analyze case examples where nurses have been, and have not been, considered supervisors.
