2017 Annual Nursing Report

We began the Magnet journey as a way to recruit and retain nurses but it became so much more. The committees have given the nurses a voice, improving nurse satisfaction and more importantly patient care. We as nurses have initiated evidence- based policies, self-scheduling, unit rounding for care that is more cohesive, and nursing satisfaction initiatives. The committees have given nurses the power and ability to impact almost every aspect of patient care, and more control over how their job affects their personal lives. I am proud to be a part of a Magnet facility.
