NOTICE TO REGISTERED NURSE STAFF
In addition, a nurse opinion survey is located on the magnet website: http://www.nursecredentialing.org/Magnet/NurseOpinionSurvey.aspx
Although you are not required to identify the organization in which you work, doing so will provide the appraisal team with valuable information that can be considered in the evaluation. If you do choose to indicate your organization, rest assured your comments are received anonymously and the Magnet Program Office has no way of identifying you. (To assure complete anonymity, complete the survey from a home computer.)
