A-Do you work for a Magnet hospital? No, but it used to be and some of our branches are.

B-If yes:Is the facility better for nursing staff than a non-magnet hoapital based on your personal experience? non magnet!

C-Do you know what Magnet is? Yup

D-If given a choice, would you choose a Magnet employer over a non-Magnet employer? No way

E-What does your facility's Magnet status provide you with that other facilities do not?

F-Are you satistified with how your employer addresses the needs of nursing staff at your facility?

G-What do you really want from your employer? We are currently trying to get Magnet status again and it seems to be a bunch of adminstrative fluff and a waste of money. Patients don't even know what it is.

tobesmartt:

Magnet Regognition status is given by the ANCC to facilitys that "exemplify excellence in nursing". There are only 231 hospitals in the US with this status. I have not taken a stand (for or against) yet. Since the credential is so difficult and costly to obtain I am trying to determine the actual benefit based on the experience of working nurses. I am also trying to determine what if anything nurses actually know about the status.

Thank you so much for participating:)

A. No

B. No

C. Yes

D. No

E. Nothing

F. No

G. I would like to feel like my opinions are heard and valued; I wish we were more important than patient survey results, nevermind that the survey is a small sample that doesn't accurately portray the quality of care actually given.
