Nurses at Vanderbilt Adult Ambulatory Clinics held a welcome party Monday to kick off the three-day site visit from appraisers of the American Nurses Credentialing Center as part of the Fourth Magnet Designation process.
The purpose of the March 28-30 site visit is for the appraisers to confirm and validate the submitted information and culture of the ambulatory clinics by listening to as many nursing and staff members as possible.
It is the culmination of more than two years of comprehensive planning and preparation, including the creation of a lengthy, evidence-based Magnet document and education efforts for nurses throughout the clinics.
