Administrative Supervisors: Getting Safely Through the Shift

Despite existing as a role in the hospital for more than a century, recent research has shown that nurse leaders—who are administrative or house supervisors during the evening and weekend shifts when unit managers, directors and hospital administrators are not in the hospital—lack important role-specific education. This education is critical to being able to effectively manage crises as they arise while ensuring staff and patient safety.

This one hour on-demand webinar will not only provide a historical overview of the administrative supervisor’s role, but also explain the role’s responsibilities, give an update on the latest research findings and conclude with a discussion about a night supervisor’s experience with a hospital fire and flood, along with some lessons learned along the way.
