Inside the program: Illustrate autonomy by discussing these five examples
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, March 10, 2009
In an ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® environment, nurses are permitted and expected to practice autonomously and independent judgment is expected to be exercised within the context of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
As you begin writing for Component III: Exemplary professional practice, the following are examples to discuss that illustrate autonomy:
- Staff nurses have input into products purchased for use in the clinical areas
- The nurse practice council is staff nurse-driven
- Staff members are active members of the interdisciplinary team
- Nurses exercise independent judgment at the bedside
- Staff nurses make unit-based decisions concerning clinical care (e.g., intensive care unit nurses decide on 24-hour visiting hours or to have family members stay in the room during a code)
