I have learned several lessons from my work with both national and international Magnet®-aspiring and Magnet®-designated organizations. Here are my top 10 lessons learned:
Lesson 1: Critically analyze your data, as this will help you determine your best journey timeline.
Lesson 2: It is never too early to involve the clinical nurses.
Lesson 3: Spend time before application to ensure that strong structures and processes have become part of your organizational culture and will support your journey.
Lesson 4: Offer shared governance support for leaders, as well as clinical nurses.
Lesson 5: Do not wait until site visit time to engage the entire organization.
Lesson 6: Gather pre-data before you implement ANY new change, process, structure, etc., so you will be able to meet ANCC’s requirement to quantify your improvements and show your empirical outcomes.
Lesson 7: Engage with an expert; someone who can guide and coach you to maximize your success.
Lesson 8: When developing your document, pick your BEST example to showcase your organization and be sure to showcase all settings where nurses work.
Lesson 9: Do not hesitate to pause on the journey if indeed you know you are not meeting the requirements.
Lesson 10: Celebrate all your journey milestones including application submission, document submission and site visits—not just designation notification.
We know that there are a lot of considerations along your journey. From transformational leadership to structural empowerment and much more, the requirements of Magnet certification are complex and require multiple forms of professional development and reporting.
