Magnet
Magnet® is a recognition of nursing excellence and commitment to quality care. The Magnet Recognition Program advances three goals within health care organizations:
- Promote quality in a setting that supports professional practice
- Identify excellence in the delivery of nursing services to patients
- Disseminate best practices in nursing services
The Magnet Recognition Program® is for health care organizations who truly value nursing talent. Magnet Recognition is not merely an award, a badge of honor or a feather in one’s hat. It is committed proof of a hard-earned promise to excellence in health care, with satisfied nurses at its heart. The American Nurse Credentialing Center is the accrediting agency of this prestigious recognition. Nursing excellence is at the heart of what Magnet represents as nurses are invaluable in leading health care change.
