Magnet Status a JOKE! I just found out that my former employer passed and is now a Magnet Hospital. To me it's another case of nurse leaders being a disappointment. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Staff nurses being involved in decision making? HA! Quality of patient care being considered a high priority? HA! Authentic leadership? HA! Accountability? Ha, Ha! It's all a bunch of rubbish. Good nurses are leaving the profession because it is impossible to give quality patient care under the current conditions in many hospitals today. This includes so called "Magnet Hospitals".

I'm new to your site. I know this was posted a year ago but I am so glad to have found it! I was recently fired after 15 years of ED nursing. I always received excellent performance evaluations but I'm afraid I was too much of a patient advocate. I have no doubt that I was fired because of my outspokeness. The most troubling thing is the lies that my supervisors wrote about me and the fact that, as an "at will" employee, I don't seem to have any recourse.
