Nursing administrators occasionally must appear before an arbitrator during a hearing to present evidence about the disciplining or discharge of a nursing staff member. Labor arbitrators will examine the record for evidence of appropriate discipline, including progressive discipline, which gradually increases the severity of penalties. This gives the employee adequate warning about improper behavior and an opportunity to respond. The author describes progressive discipline, identifies its elements, and shows cases in which arbitrators have either upheld or overturned hospitals' disciplinary measures. Nursing administrators will discover guidelines for progressive discipline that will help them in either avoiding a demand for arbitration or convincing the arbitrator that disciplinary measures were appropriate.
护理管理人员偶尔必须在听证会上出庭，向仲裁员提供关于对护理人员进行纪律处分或解雇的证据。劳动仲裁员将审查记录，以寻找适当纪律处分的证据，包括渐进式纪律处分，即逐步加大处罚的力度。这会让员工对不当行为得到充分的警告并有机会做出回应。作者描述了渐进式纪律处分，确定了其要素，并展示了仲裁员维持或推翻医院纪律处分措施的案例。护理管理人员将找到渐进式纪律处分的指导方针，这将帮助他们避免仲裁要求，或使仲裁员相信纪律处分措施是恰当的。
