NURSES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Health care organizations that adhere to or seek Magnet designation (Magnet hospitals) are exemplars in serving patients. They are recognized as organizations that have high nurse satisfaction and lower rates of nurse shortages. These organizations tend to have higher degrees of nurse involvement at all levels of decision making. Magnet hospitals also have improved patient outcomes.

For this Discussion, you explore how Magnet status contributes to health care change within an institution and the personal contribution nurses make to this process.
