From the Paper:

"In attempting to establish a recourse for dealing with the lack of competencies demonstrated by nursing supervisory leadership in this case study it is clear that education and training is needed critically toward building the necessary expertise required by nursing supervisors in this organization in order to avoid misunderstandings of the future such as the misunderstanding between the nursing supervisors and Nurse Comrie in this case. Nurse Comrie's transfer or reassignment should have been handled quite differently."
