Designation as a magnet organization by the American Nurses Credentialing Center is a coveted distinction for health care organizations. These organizations experience fewer problems with nurse recruitment and retention because they have been found to be good places to practice professional nursing. Better patient outcomes have also been documented in these organizations. In this article, the authors recount their 3-year experience leading an organization successfully to become the first magnet organization in the nation’s capitol. The magnet application and review process is linked to the core principles of organization development. The authors conclude with policy recommendations for other organizations that are just beginning their journey to achieving magnet status and with reflections on leadership and the value created by participating in the magnet program.
