Johns Hopkins Hospital’s nursing department holds the American Nursing Credentialing Center’s Magnet Award for Excellence, a gold standard in nursing. The Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing—a collaboration between Hopkins Hospital’s nursing department and Hopkins University’s School of Nursing—trains other organizations, including international providers, in the principles of Magnet nursing.

Hopkins has committed significant time, training and resources to improving the communication patterns and teamwork between physicians and nursing staff. This has resulted in improved patient safety and outcomes, increased patient satisfaction and fewer medical errors.

Our nursing leaders are accomplished in assessing, recommending and training in the global arena. They work in collaboration with our partner organizations to target pressing needs, review organizational structure and reporting documentation, and develop training standards. They also set the groundwork for developing nursing teams and help team members emerge as leaders.
