2. ANA Ethical Code for Nurses
3. Magnet hospitals
4. Personal Health and Wellness
You may be wondering how financing health care, nursing ethics, personal health and wellness, and Magnet hospitals flow together this week. When you think about it, financing health care and ethical issues can be stressful for nurses, who are sometimes expected to do more with less. This can affect one’s health and wellness. The concept of Magnet was originally developed from research done in the late 1970s and early 1980s on hospitals that seemed to attract and retain nurses. They were considered to act as “magnets” to draw and hold nurses.
