Defining the project director's role

HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, January 8, 2008

The position of project director for an organization's journey toward ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® (MRP) designation involves many different tasks. From demonstrating effective leadership skills to balancing the MRP budget, it's a full-time job. While the project director's role can seem overwhelming, a few members from Journey Talk: HCPro's Talk Group for the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® share some of the most important tasks for the project director:

• Develop divisional policies and procedures to ensure that nursing care reflects the 14 Forces of Magnetism
• Attend and actively participate in department and hospitalwide committee meetings and activities, seeking opportunities to provide leadership within areas of expertise
• Support the development of the shared governance process and professional nursing practice model, and mentor others in the continued development of both
• Support the philosophy, objectives, policies, and procedures of the hospital and the division of patient care services
• Participate in projects that enhance nursing excellence and professional development
• Assist in the development and delivery of MRP-related education, mentor staff nurses to support their role as educators about the MRP process, and serve as an educational resource to the nursing community
• Use cutting-edge knowledge, research, and best practice to develop organizational interventions
• Provide an environment of motivation and commitment to designation through celebration, continuous communication, and education of MRP expectations
