Nurse Magnet Recognition at Lexington

Contributions of Professional Nursing at Baptist Health Lexington

Baptist Health Lexington is a five-time consecutively designated Magnet® facility through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), which is the highest recognition for nursing excellence worldwide. The Magnet® designation was first achieved at Baptist Health Lexington 2005. Serving as a model of nursing excellence in 2018, Baptist Health was the first community hospital system to have both Magnet® or Pathway to Excellence® credentials at all nine facilities. Supporting the Baptist Health mission, vision and values, the Magnet® credential shows the excellent level of work from nursing. It also confirms the commitment and contributions of nursing at all levels to sustain excellence in professional practice, care delivery and health outcomes. Nurses continually strive to raise the bar of professional practice through individual and group contributions by:

Having higher levels of nursing education;
Obtaining nursing certifications;
Publishing nurse-led and co-led research studies and quality initiatives in peer reviewed journals; and
Volunteering in community outreach programs and population health initiatives at the local, regional, and state level.

These contributions describe the culture of nursing within the facility, and the resolve of nursing staff to provide the highest quality patient and family-centered care.

Advancing Higher Levels of Nursing Education

In 2010, the Institute of Medicine made a national goal for all healthcare organizations that involved 80% of nursing staff to have a baccalaureate degree (or higher) in nursing (IOM, 2011). Higher levels of education improves the ability of nurses to meet demands of the current healthcare system and improve patient care results. To meet this goal, Baptist Health Lexington provides resources to support nurses returning to college programs. Through monies provided for tuition and use of flexible scheduling, a large volume of RNs and LPNs have advanced their educational to the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctorate level over the past several years. As of the end-year 2024, 72.2% of all RNs earned a baccalaureate degree or higher (see Figure 1).

Obtaining National Nursing Certifications

We provide resources—both internal and external—to help nurses pursue national specialty certifications. Specialty credentials reflect advanced knowledge and skills, and they contribute to higher patient safety and quality outcomes. As of end-2024, 288 nurses at Baptist Health Lexington have achieved or maintained national certification.
