Susan H. Weaver, PhD, RN, CRNI, NEA-BC

Sue Weaver’s advocacy for administrative supervisors emanated from her program of research on this role. The genesis for her research has been her 25 years of experience as administrative supervisor which continues to inform her research. In a funded nationwide study Dr. Weaver began the investigation of the administrative supervisor role, the nurse leader on the evening, night, and weekend shifts in hospital, and their impact on nurse and patient outcomes. Since then, she has conducted regional and national research studies further exploring and describing the administrative supervisor role and their organizational impact. Recognizing from her research that administrative supervisors lacked role specific education, Dr. Weaver was the founder of the annual Administrative Supervisor conference. This conference evolved since 2017 from a local to a multi-state conference with several hundred supervisors from seven states at the last conference. Sue is a Nurse Scientist at the Hackensack Meridian Health Ann May Center for Nursing and the New Jersey Collaborating Center for Nursing.
