Can Techs Manage Nurses?

Hello Nursing Community

Want to gather some feedback from the nursing community. I've heard from several people in leadership positions that nurses who work in electrophysiology/ operating room are not supposed to be managed by technologists. I've been looking for scholarly documentation on this and I wondering if anyone can provide feedback to assist me in this search.

The state of interest is Illinois.

Can nurses be managed by technologists? More specifically, in the electrophysiology/ operating room setting.

Please give feedback. Thanks in advance.

    Depends in what way they are "managing". If it's all administrative (attendance/time cards, disciplinary actions, etc), there's nothing wrong with that. If you mean clinically, then yes there may be an issue

    In my state, RNs must be supervised by an RN. As Rose_Queen mentioned, things that are not directly involved with their practice might be covered by a tech in certain situations.

    Administratively, yes. Clinically, no.
