Abstract
In 2007, Diane Ream Rourke published in this journal, the history and explanation for Baptist Hospital in Florida to include its library on its successful Magnet journey. This article draws heavily from American Nursing Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet Information pages. It begins with a quick review of the history of the Program, further suggestions for a librarian's contribution to obtain Magnet Recognition and a brief current literature review on the values Magnet Recognition brings to a hospital's economics, patient care, and nursing staff. The quick history review and suggestions on the librarian contribution to the Magnet journey are based on an invited CE course by this author. The literature review on the values Magnet Recognition brings to a hospital's economics, patient care, and nursing staff was part of a presentation this author prepared for the Chief of Nursing. This author was a Magnet Champion and Magnet exemplar when Virtua Health first earned its first Magnet designation.
