Our respiratory therapists only work in our NICU and never get floated to the rest of the hospital. They are under the respiratory department of the hospital. It has been difficult to get consistency in the NICU when I can only supervise nursing and RTs are supervised by the director of the hospital RT department. I am trying to find out if as nursing director, I can supervise respiratory therapists. I am trying to see if I can transfer their FTE to the NICU department which is a nursing unit. Are there any written guidelines that reference this? Thanks so much.
