For nurses, Tampa General Hospital is more than just a place to work. It’s a place to grow professionally and clinically. It’s a hospital system unlike any other, where nurses who consistently provide patient-centered, holistic care and who go above and beyond to grow their skill sets are recognized and championed. Here, nurses are supported with robust resources, including an injury prevention team, shared governance council and continuing education and certification opportunities. But most importantly, nurses at TGH are a family.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of this family, Tampa General Hospital has achieved ANCC Magnet Recognition® for a fourth time by the American Nurses Credentialing Center for excellence in nursing. Magnet® designation recognizes hospitals that demonstrate excellence in nursing philosophy and practices, adherence to national standards for improving patient care, leadership and sensitivity to cultural and ethnic diversity.
Tampa General Hospital has applied to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for the prestigious designation of Magnet for a fifth time. ANCC evaluates the environment in which nursing is practiced as well as compliance with standards promulgated by the American Nurses Association. Magnet program appraisers seek input from the public, including patients, families, clients, staff, and others who interact with the health care organizations applying for Magnet® designation.
