Among the 6,120 hospitals in the U.S., 9.8% have a Magnet designation. An even smaller proportion — 0.38% — have achieved this recognition at least six times.
The American Nurses Credentialing Center designates select hospitals as "Magnet" institutions based on quality patient care and nursing excellence, according to the ANCC's website. Hospitals with this designation typically have high nurse job satisfaction and low levels of nurse burnout and turnover.
Here are 23 hospitals that have received this honor six or more times:
