AUBMC celebrated at nurses' credentialing center in Kentucky
More than 5,000 staff nurses, health-care executives, and nurse leaders from the United States and 12 countries around the globe (including a team from AUBMC) met to network and explore the relationship among leadership innovation and nursing practice outcomes at the American Nurses Credentialing Center National Magnet Conference held at the Louisville, Kentucky Convention Center in early October. The conference theme was "Inspiring Innovation, Achieving Outcomes."

The conference provided different venues and means for sharing stories through pre- conference workshops, plenary and closing sessions, concurrent sessions, poster presentations, the Art of Magnet Nursing Gallery, the Magnet film festival, network meetings, international meetings, and the welcome party at the Louisville Slugger Field.
The AUBMC team of 20 delegates, led by Assistant Hospital Director for Nursing Gladys Mouro, was there to celebrate their own recently acclaimed Magnet Designation (June 2009). The high point for the team came when AUBMC was announced among the Magnet designated facilities during the Magnet celebration session of newly and redesignated facilities. Another exciting moment for AUB's team was the performance during the international luncheon of the Lebanese dabkeh by a group from the Lebanese Student Organization of Ohio State University. |

A key highlight of the conference was the attendance and honoring of HRH Princess Muna Al Hussein of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as the first recipient of an award created in her name to recognize an individual who demonstrates dedication to nursing and innovative approaches to health care.
The team from AUBMC and the conference attendees enjoyed the hospitality of the Magnet-recognized local hosts in Kentucky-Baptist Hospital East, Central Baptist Hospital, Kosair Children's Hospital, St. Elizabeth Medical Center, and the University of Kentucky Hospital-and the warmth, support, and enthusiasm of the welcoming ANCC staff. |
