The road to designation is a challenge—learning how to meet the program’s new expectations doesn’t have to be.
Achieving ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®* designation—and redesignation—has always been a challenge. And now, the ANCC has released a new manual that restructures the 14 Forces of Magnetism around 5 Model Components, and places more emphasis on nursing research and patient outcomes. This restructuring creates new criteria for achieving and maintaining nursing’s highest honor.
Don’t waste your time and resources trying to interpret the new guidelines.
