SUMMARY

The Registered Nurse Supervisor is a nursing leader who serves as a resource in coordinating and overseeing patient care delivery. The Nurse Supervisor provides leadership, direction, facilitates patient flow, assures appropriate staffing, and consults with nursing, medical and administration as necessary. Maintains standards of professional nursing practice and supports the nursing philosophy and objectives, as well as initiatives. All practices and patient care decisions will be consistent with established hospital policy and procedure, DNV, and all other state and federal laws. The night shift, weekend, and holiday supervisors are also the leading management person in the institution itself.
