Nursing Professional Practice Model

Our organization’s Nursing Professional Practice Model is grounded in Kristen M. Swanson’s Theory of Caring. Our Magnet Steering Council, composed of clinical nurses and leaders, revisited and enhanced our model, adding a circle to include our organization’s mission and vision.

Components such as evidence-based practice, advocacy, integrity, empowerment, respect, equity and inclusion now surround our core values.

The colorful puzzle pieces represent the five domains of Swanson’s Theory of Caring, unified around our core purpose: There is no limit to what our care can do.

This model is a true reflection of our commitment to combining care with our mission, vision and values to achieve optimal outcomes. It represents the heart of who we are as nurses.
