A new graduate nurse is applying for the exciting first position and states, "I am only applying to Magnet hospitals because those work environments:
a. attract physicians who are the best health care providers to improve quality of care."
b. require all registered nurses to be certified in the area of practice."
c. not only attract but also retain professional nurses."
d. discourage nurses from advancing their current level of education and I don't want to return to school for many years."
ANS: C
Correct: Magnet hospitals have been identified as both attracting and retaining professional nurses. Magnet hospital nurses have higher levels of autonomy, greater control over the practice setting, and better relationships with physicians.
Incorrect:
a. Magnet hospitals actually attract both physicians and nurses; however, nurses are in the best position as the largest health care profession to impact patient quality.
b. Higher education level of nurses are sought (BSN as minimum preparation preferred). Magnet hospitals actually recruit and reward professional nurses with specialty certification, but it is not required of all practicing nurses.
d. Magnet hospitals do not discourage nurses from advancing their current level of education; rather they seek to attract and retain nurses with higher levels of educational preparation. Magnet hospitals have programs that support nurses in advancing their education.
