Abstract

It has been more than 35 years since an enterprising team of nurse researchers evaluated the nursing shortage of the 1980s and unearthed findings that led to the creation of the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet Recognition Program®. Today, the Magnet® credential stands as the highest international acknowledgment of nursing excellence in healthcare organizations.
