What
is the Magnet Award?
This
award is the ultimate honor for nursing excellence.
Presented by the American Nurses Credentialing Center
(ANCC), it recognizes hospital-based nursing teams
that meet the nation's highest standards. In short,
Magnet is a seal of approval for quality nursing care
and an environment that is supportive of their nurses.
Why
is Magnet status important to you?
For
nurses, working within a Magnet hospital means you
will have the recognition, rewards and advancement
you need for a fulfilling career. It sets the institution
apart from the crowd and places it among the very best
in the nation. So there is no doubt that at a Magnet
hospital, your opportunities and challenges will be
everything you ever dreamed possible.
For
the patient, Magnet recognition provides the definitive
benchmark for excellence in nursing care. It reassures
patients and their families by ensuring that the honored
hospital has a proven track record in quality care.
We
invite you to see for yourself why Georgetown University
Hospital was the first in the area to receive this
celebrated award. What you'll find is a team that was
once proud to be called "the nurses hospital," but
is now even more pleased to say we're "the Magnet
nurses hospital."
