title: Obtaining a positive relationship with your supervisor.
abstract: Obtaining a satisfactory relationship with the supervisor is essential for the LP/VN who has just taken a job. Both personal and job satisfaction will result when a compatible trusting relationship can be obtained. How to effectively disagree with a supervisor is a skill every employee should have. It is especially important for the LP/VN who may feel the supervisor's idea may adversely affect patient care, agency function, or personal effectiveness in performance. Strategies have been described for obtaining a positive working relationship with the supervisor.
