7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a

a 7 a 7a 7 a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a




assure the consumer that thenurse has a minimum level of knowledge; however, it does not ensure that

7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7 a 7a




motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are rated on the number of certified
7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a

7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a




of nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy model would involve tailored visiting to meet the patients
