Which statement best describes when collective bargaining by nurses can occur?

a. Only when the nurses in the group are members of a union
b. Whenever nurses see a need to organize to take collective action
c. Only when the state nurses association is willing to represent nurses at a specific agency
d. Whenever the state nurses association agrees that both wages and working con-ditions are inappropriate


B
Professional nurses organize themselves. This may occur because administrators and nursing supervisors fail to recognize and address nurses' individual and collective needs. Collective bar-gaining can be addressed through a formal union representative or through interest-based bar-gaining (IBB). The state nurses association may or may not be involved with collective bargain-ing.
