Most health care facilities or employers include an organizational structure that defines a person’s manager or supervisor. A non-nurse may be a “supervisor” of the registered nurse in an organizational structure related to human resource and administrative functions. This is different than the definition of “supervision” of a nursing activity. The nursing rules define “supervision” as the “provision of guidance and evaluation for the accomplishment of a nursing task or activity with the initial direction of the task or activity; periodic inspection of the actual act of accomplishing the task or activity; and the authority to require corrective action.” The registered nurse practices independently and does not require supervision or evaluation of nursing care. Only the registered nurse or advanced registered nurse practitioner may supervise and evaluate the practice of nursing.
