Deadline for submissions extended to September 3, 2010!
The Art of Magnet® Nursing Gallery, sponsored this year by Loyola University Medical Center, displays quilts, photos, sculptures, framed poems, fabric art, and other types of artistic expression. These works express the deep commitment of those involved in the art and practice of nursing in a Magnet work environment.
Don’t miss your opportunity to share in this moving tribute to the best of nursing! All Magnet-designated organizations as well as active applicants (those who have submitted their Magnet application) are invited to submit items via the form below.
The Magnet® Film Festival, sponsored by M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, captures the spirit and pride of Magnet nurses. If your organization has produced a video telling your Magnet story, highlighting the accomplishments of your nurses, and/or celebrating the Magnet journey as it is experienced in your lives, please submit it for consideration via the form below.
Also found in the gallery space will be a display of Annual Reports which Magnet organizations prepare for their own governing bodies. These documents provide a wealth of valuable information about these leading healthcare organizations. If you have a report to display, please send a three-hole punched copy to the following address by September 17, 2010: Ellen (Boo) Lahman – ANCC/Magnet – 8515 Georgia Ave. – Suite 400 – Silver Spring, MD, 20910-3492.
Last but certainly not least, nurses can stitch their way into conference history and share in a unique networking opportunity by participating in the Magnet® Quilting Bee. The finished quilt, displayed on the final day of the conference, is sure to be a wok of art. Be sure to drop by during the 2010 conference to participate in this year’s bee – no experience necessary!
