HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, September 15, 2009
There are multiple ways to collect evidence for the 5 Model Components and write narratives for the various Sources of Evidence. However, you must find the processes that fit well with your organization.

- Preparation
- Writing
- Editing and presentation
