Magnet Re-Designation Makes Nurse Recruiter's Cheeks Hurt Again!

Thursday, August 6, 2009 by The Clarian Health Nurse Recruitment Team
I attended the Magnet re-designation ceremony at Methodist Hospital yesterday. It was so nice to see everyone gathered around the trophy display case anticipating the award being submitted. Linda Everett, our CNO, and Rhonda Smith, MH nursing VP, both spoke about the long road we, as an organization, had to take to achieve re-designation.

They also informed us that of the few hospital systems privileged enough to obtain Magnet designation a first time, only 2 percent get re-designated. Two Clarian physicians were also in attendance and spoke about how proud they were to work with Clarian nurses. One said, “We have the best nurses here at Clarian and I am always thankful for that.”

In 2005, when Clarian was first designated with Magnet status, I was a newer nurse and a unit magnet champion. I was excited and overwhelmed, but loved every minute of it. When the phone call came, I can remember my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I even held the yellow banner at the end of the ceremony stating that we had made it. Now, four years later, I found the ceremony and the recognition to be just as exciting. I am still incredibly proud and thankful to be a Clarian nurse. And yes, I smiled through the whole thing and my cheeks hurt... AGAIN!
