Abstract:
This article reported on a 1989 telephone and statistical/demographic survey study of 16 magnet hospitals, which were identified in 1982 and studied intensively in 1986. Trends and patterns, many of which were just becoming evident in 1986 were found to be well established in 1989. With very limited or no nursing shortage, these hospitals engaged in a variety of innovative and challenging programs. As a group, they continue to display evidence of cultures of excellence and give every evidence of continuing leadership in working out creative and successful solutions to today's problems in nursing.
