As health care institutions develop strategies to recruit and retain nurses, organizations should adopt the best practices of hospitals successful in recruiting and retaining RN's.
The Joint Commission reports in, “Health Care at the Crossroads” that:
The characteristics of some of these winning hospitals-called magnet hospitals- were first studied in 1983 through a project sponsored by the American Academy of Nursing. That original research and subsequent studies have shown that the nurses working in these magnet hospitals had strong support from the leadership of the organization.

Magnet recognition is a honor that all hospitals should strive to attain. It reflects the quality of the nursing care delivered at that particular institution. It is also an achievement which needs to be worked at, it is not a one time, "you earn it forever" award. The efforts must remain in place to maintain the Magnet Status. A nurse who is employeed by a Magnet Hospital has much to be proud of.
