"It's More Than Excellence"

Nursing Philosophy at ANMC

A unified nursing profession working within an environment of Nursing Excellence, as evidence by Magnet Status, with the Alaska Native people and other disciplines, to achieve holistic wellness and excellence in healthcare.

What's new in Nursing at ANMC?

ANMC is working hard to fix vertical and horizontal communication. We have completed the first part of our communications survey and have distributed the results with the staff.  Based on the results of the survey, we are finding ways to improve communication among all levels. With a quick follow up survey in a couple of months, we are expecting a follow up site visit in December 2008.

Magnet Champions are working to promote the Forces of Magnetism at ANMC. There are Magnet Champion retreats once per quarter. Magnet Champions have recently implemented a bi-annual back to school supply drive for school districts in remote Alaska.

Our evidence-based Practice Internship is underway, with five new projects beginning in February, 2007.
