Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in Florida is one of just six children's hospitals in the country to receive the American Nurses Credentialing Center's prestigious "Magnet" designation for nursing excellence.
The designation, which is the gold standard for nursing excellence, recognizes nursing excellence and the highest level of professionalism in nursing practice, according to a press release.
Held by fewer than 10% of hospitals nationwide, Johns Hopkins All Children's is one of only six children's hospitals in Florida to receive this recognition.
"It distinguishes the hospital regionally and nationally and is a reflection of the hard work, excellence, and commitment of nursing staff and the care they provide to our patients and their families," says Melissa Macogay, vice president and chief nursing officer at Johns Hopkins All Children's.
The ANCC's Magnet model provides a framework of key concepts essential to nursing excellence, including transformational leadership, coordination, and collaboration across specialties, processes for measuring and improving the quality and delivery of care, and a commitment to using new knowledge, innovation, and technology to enhance care and engage patients and families.
The designation is both personal and professional for Macogay, who joined the hospital as a bedside nurse in 2008, became a nurse leader responsible for several inpatient units
