Why Take the Journey…Why not? • Benefits of Magnet Designation • Attract and retain top talent • Improve patient care, safety and satisfaction • Foster a collaborative culture • Advance nursing standards and practice • Grow your business and financial success
Overcoming Barriers • Dispelling Magnet Myths • “It’s one more thing to do” • Very expensive (waste of money) • Everyone has to be certified • Everyone has to have their BSN or higher • Everyone has to be happy all the time • Once you obtain designation, your work is completed Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. –Mark Twain
Successes we gleaned! • Non-nurse engagement • How the community views MUSC nurses • Professional growth and development has become contagious
What would you recommend to a team just starting the journey? • Recognize it’s a journey • Expect the unexpected • Success is a journey not a destination • Excellence has no endpoint
