Magnet: Recognizing Nursing Excellence at Christiana Care

In 2010, Christiana Care Health System achieved Magnet® recognition for excellence in nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Only 6 percent of the nation's hospitals have earned this honor, the highest level of national recognition to health care organizations that demonstrate sustained excellence in nursing care. Christiana Care is the only hospital in Delaware to achieve Magnet status. The Magnet Recognition Program® honors health care organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing practice and adherence to national standards for the organization and delivery of nursing services. Applicants undergo a rigorous evaluation process that includes a multi-day site visit by Magnet nurse appraisers to review nursing services. Research shows there are clear benefits to hospitals that receive Magnet status and to the communities they serve in consumer confidence, recruitment and retention and in maintaining quality of care. Magnet recognition is maintained for four years. During that period, the ANCC monitors facilities to ensure high standards of care continue to remain.
