Are nurses who work as team leaders, overseeing the nursing care provided by other nurses, considered supervisors by the National Labor Relations Act?
1. Yes; these nurses are supervising others.
2. They are considered supervisors only if they supervise more than three other nurses.
3. There is still debate over this issue.
4. No; there is too much variation in a team leader's day-to-day responsibilities.
Correct Answer: 3
Nurses who are supervisors are not covered by the National Labor Relations Act. There is still debate regarding whether all nurses who oversee the nursing care provided by other nurses, such as team leaders, are supervisors as defined by the NLRA. Some of the questions are related to the numbers of persons supervised and the level of supervision provided.
