Abstract:
Now in its 29th year, the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet Recognition Program stands as the premier international acknowledgment of nursing excellence in healthcare organizations around the world. The program's applicability in general hospitals, community hospitals, and academic medical centers is established, but what about specialty hospitals? In this month's Magnet Perspectives, nursing leaders from 3 specialty sectors, rehabilitation hospitals, cancer hospitals, and children's hospitals, discuss the ways in which the Magnet framework enriches the practice environment and promotes outstanding nurse and patient outcomes. Insights are shared about how the Magnet journey provides the foundation to address current challenges in healthcare, including nurse staffing shortages, burnout, unit effectiveness, safety and quality imperatives, patient experience, and more.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

If, however, the bob is a slotted metal plate, the magnet produces a much smaller effect. When a slotted metal plate enters the field, an emf is induced by the change in flux; however, it is less effective because the slots limit the...
