HEALING IS THEIR PURPOSE

Celebrating Certified Nurses Day

Each year, Certified Nurses Day, is celebrated on March 19th. At South Nassau, we recognize our Certified Nurses with a Luncheon and Floral Corsage presentation.

Magnet Recognition

Designated a Magnet® hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), Mount Sinai South Nassau received this recognition after demonstrating excellence in patient care in more than 35 areas of focus throughout the entire hospital, demanding widespread participation from leadership and staff. The Magnet Recognition Program provides the ultimate benchmark for patients and their families to measure the quality of care they can expect at a hospital. It is called “Magnet” because of the hospital’s ability to attract and retain professional nurses. This credential places South Nassau among a select group of fewer than 7 percent of all health care organizations in the nation to earn Magnet recognition.
