A Brief Overview
The Administrative Nurse Supervisor represents the Associate Director of Nursing in providing administrative
continuity by providing administrative leadership, consultation, and support for patient care services areas of the hospital during his/her designated shift. He/she has the authority to act on behalf of the Associate Director
of Nursing and hospital management. The Administrative Nurse Supervisor acts independently to provide crisis management, interpret policy, make timely decisions that directly impact patient care, ensure timely and effective communication and collaboration among departments, and provide operational oversight throughout the hospital. He/she provides administrative continuity to staff, patients, and families while acting as the onsite administrative liaison of the Associate Director of Nursing in support of the hospital's mission and goals to patients, families, hospital employees, and the patient care services management team. In the absence of the Vice President for Patient Care Services, Associate Director of Nursing, or delegate, the Administrative Nursing Supervisor has the authority and responsibility for administrative decisions and appropriate notification of the Administrator On-Call. Administrative Nurse Supervisor is distinguished from Patient Care Manager in that the latter has 24-7 responsibility for one or more assigned inpatient units while the ANS is responsible for serving as the administrator-on-duty for the entire hospital during a single shift and is not directly responsible for the operation of a patient care unit. Administrative Nurse Supervisor is distinguished from Administrative Nurse Manager in that the latter assists top nursing management in the achievement of departmental goals and objectives by performing, coordinating, and/or directing assigned hospital-wide administrative functions.
