Make site visit preparation a top priority
Don't wait until the last minute to prepare nursing and non-nursing staff members for the site visit-whether you're pursuing ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® (MRP) designation or redesignation. It's important to start planning site visit activities once you submit your written documentation because you never know how quickly appraisers may show up on your hospital's doorstep.

Help fulfill your nurses' needs with an endowment
Nursing is at the core and heart of patient care. And for nurses to continue providing quality patient care, they need resources to grow professionally and to keep them at the bedside. But with limited funds and a growing demand to improve patient care and nurse retention, many healthcare organizations must look to other sources to meet these expectations.
