Congratulations to Hutt Hospital in New Zealand.
Last month Hutt Hospital became New Zealand's first hospital to receive ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® designation, and only the second organization outside the United States to ever receive the award. Since the start of its journey toward designation in 2002, Hutt Hospital, situated in the capital city of Wellington, has strengthened its nursing leadership, developed a framework for ethical decision-making, increased opportunities for professional development, and focused on patient-care services and nursing turnover rates. According to Hutt Hospital's Director of Nursing Toni Dal Din, the whole organization had to be committed to top quality patient care to be awarded ANCC Magnet Recognition®.

I hope our own hospital will be as dedicated to achieving magnet ststus as this hospital in New Zealand. The USA prides itself in being on the cutting edge of medical advancement. Nurse recognition needs to be made a priority. Great article.
Anytime one is recognized for the work they do it is a wonderful thing but, to be recognized for creating something that ultimately helps others is something Wonderful (for you and those you serve)! And across the water at that...great job
