Abstract:
Magnet designation is the highest level of acknowledgement accorded healthcare organizations in recognition of professional nursing care. After our nursing leadership team attended a Magnet conference in 1998, we were inspired, and so was our staff. In 2004, we submitted our documentation and were notified that it met the criteria, and our site visit was scheduled. We did not receive Magnet designation, but we viewed our experience as an opportunity to learn. The authors describe how a disappointing outcome was turned into an experience of great learning and transformation.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
