Stay visible in the community

HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, October 16, 2007

Once your organization has achieved ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® (MRP) designation, maintain this visibility in the community. The following five key points will prove useful:

  1. Identify your organization as an MRP status facility in every advertisement published in your local newspaper, nursing journal advertisements, or recruitment brochures
  2. Revise all organizational brochures/educational material in a timely fashion to reflect designation
  3. Notify the deans of  your local nursing schools/colleges
  4. Display a banner at job fairs
  5. Update your organizational and nursing Web site with stories from employees sharing what designation means to them
