Nurses, as well as individuals outside the profession, have sometimes expressed concern around the involvement of state nurses associations in collective bargaining. What factor most often underlies such concerns?
A) State nurses associations lack the legal authority to engage in bargaining though this has
been their traditional role.
B) State nurses associations tend to be unaware of many of the issues that nurses face when
providing care.
C) It can be difficult to reconcile the professional obligations of nurses associations with their
role in bargaining.
D) Few practicing nurses participate in the activities of state nurses associations.
Ans: C
Some individuals contend that it is not realistic for state nurses associations to work
with the professionalism aspect of nursing as well as with the issues of wages, benefits, and
working conditions. State nurses associations do not lack the legal right to bargain and
participation of nurses in the operations of state nurses associations does not directly affect
their right or ability to bargain.
