As the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) marks its 30th anniversary in 2021, the world's largest and most prestigious nurse credentialing organization has unveiled a new Credentialing Framework for Nursing Excellence. In this month's “Magnet Perspectives,” the directors of the ANCC's 6 credentialing programs introduce a new conceptual framework, outline the key concepts for exceptional nursing practice, and describe how ANCC's programs interconnect to invoke a powerful model that healthcare organizations can use to develop and sustain nursing excellence.
Registered nurses (RNs) are leaving the bedside to become advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Failure to successfully transition APRNs into clinical practice represents a substantial financial burden to healthcare organizations. Organizations can use the standards of the Magnet Recognition Program® to help support, develop, and transition APRNs into their advanced practice role.
