I am contemplating filing a complaint against my employer for a negative work environment. I am a licensed nurse and my direct supervisor is an unlicensed person who delegates tasks that requires a license and evaluates my professional nursing practice. This is illegal per New York State law. I am wondering if I would have a case should I pursue filing a lawsuit against my employer.
