"Magnet means the highest of standards. When you set the bar high, people rise to expectations. It means a solid, inherent commitment to excellence for every patient, their family members and every visitor to Inova. I take pride in the care of my patients and the entire patient experience. This means treating patients and their support system with dignity and respect, while providing physical and emotional support, education, access to additional services and a caring and compassionate heart. Magnet for me is the standard of excellence that we provide always."

"A nurse who works in a Magnet hospital is very proud to be part of that team, because it means that the organization takes care of their employees and their employees take good care of patients. It's like a chain reaction. Positive energy can be contagious. The nurses and interprofessional team are knowledgeable, supportive and current with evidence-based practice, which ensures excellent patient care and a supportive, dynamic nursing practice environment."
