HUP’s Magnet Fair proved that learning can, indeed, be fun. Five stations educated employees on what to expect during the Magnet site visit, what it means to be a Magnet organization, the role of various disciplines on the patient unit, the identities of the Magnet appraisers, and who is part of Penn Medicine senior leadership. Over 500 employees took part in the fun and entered a raffle to win great prizes.
Tim Reilly, BS, RN, of Clinical Resource Management and Social Work, matches puzzle pieces to answer questions about what to expect during the Magnet site visit.
The winners were:
- Camera - Lauren Mang, BSN, RN, of Rhoads 2
- iPod Station - Marianne Zoleta, BSN, RN, Rhoads 4
- Wii – Hector Martinez, Catering
HUP’s Magnet site visit took place earlier this week. We will receive notification of the Magnet Commission’s decision in two to three months, most likely sometime in April.
