A Remarkable Journey: Why the Magnet Recognition Program® Continues to Resonate Today
1Author Affiliation: Retired, ANA-Maine Member, American Academy of Nursing Fellow and Living Legend.
Abstract:
It has been more than 30 years since an enterprising team of American Academy of Nursing researchers unearthed groundbreaking findings that led to the creation of the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet Recognition Program®. Dr Muriel Poulin, EdD, RN, FAAN, a coauthor of the original Magnet® hospital study, recalls how she and her colleagues opted to take their research in a different direction and address pressing questions that spoke directly to the needs and desires of staff nurses. She shares her thoughts on why the Magnet Recognition Program continues to resonate today. Dr Poulin was inducted into the American Nurses Association Hall of Fame in 2016.

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...
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....
