There were many memorable moments this past year, but two stand out most for me: the moment we received the news of our second Magnet designation in March and the moment a group of us representing our nursing community stepped onto the stage at the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Conference in celebration of our designation in October.
These two instances were memorable because they represent so much more than a designation. They hold within them thousands of examples of relationship-based care, collaboration, innovation and dedication to our patients and their loved ones over the past four years, despite the many challenges we faced.
I’m always proud to be a member of the Brigham nursing community, and these two moments only reaffirmed how special this place – and all of our people – truly are.
