title: Possible influences on clinical supervision.
abstract: This article discusses clinical supervision and suggests that, aside from helping nurses to enhance their clinical effectiveness, it could offer experiential methods of assisting nurses to identify and locate supportive networks in the workplace. The advantages and difficulties of supervision relationships are described in context, including some consideration of authority and control.
