title: The outcomes of Magnet environments and nursing staff engagement: a case study.
abstract: To ensure that nursing as a profession is recognized for the value we provide to our organizations, communities, and the world, a consistent level of practice and professionalism will be necessary. Consistency across the profession can be achieved through support of the framework and structures required for the process of attaining Magnet designation. This article is a case study of an organization that on all levels from economic, manpower, quality, and safety has benefited from the Magnet journey.
