3. Debrief as a class. Students should open with comments from each perspective: (1) HR attorneys,

(2) hospital administrators, and (3) nursing shift managers.

What are some of the particular concerns or questions that arose in your mind as you played your particular role? What are some of the tensions that face the managers and administrators in this situation? How might the HR system of a hospital be improved? Why might nurses represent a particularly challenging set of HR concerns? Managing human resources in today’s complex business and legal environment is not easy.
