Ambulatory care nurses practicing at top of scope and achieving practice excellence has never been so important as it is now in the current climate of health care transformation, shift in patient volumes and the diverse needs of populations served in the ambulatory care setting.

The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program ® is an evidence based approach to achieving exemplary patient outcomes, empowerment of nursing, expert practice accountability and enhanced interprofessional collaboration. As more and more organizations seek to follow and apply for this recognition, both as part of a system and as stand alone ambulatory organizations, strategies for achieving the many requirements are in high demand.

This presentation will review the current ambulatory care nursing climate, describe the ANCC Magnet model and program as well as give strategies to achieve the elements required for ambulatory care nurses within it.

Recently, ANCC raised the requirements for organizations seeking Magnet designation or redesignation. This change most significantly impacts the area of nurse satisfaction. One well published and effective tool used by many organizations is a formal professional advancement program. Most often build on the conceptual framework of Benner’s Novice to Expert, these programs provide for reward and recognition as direct care nurses engage in professional growth while remaining at the point of care. As these programs have been in place for nearly four decades, many organizations have undertaken program evaluation and revision efforts in order to ensure that the structure is timely and continues to attract nursing participation. One critical factor consistently identified as a requirement for success is active staff nurse involvement in creating, implementing, evaluating and revising the program. This presentation describes one organization’s experience using the existing shared governance structure to create and implement a professional practice advancement program.

This webinar is designed for the novice nurse to gain a better understanding of how to get started with writing an abstract. We will review a clear description of abstract contents and useful tips. By the end of the webinar, the concept of abstract writing will be less intimidating and more approachable.
