A Daemen College Think Tank Supported Grant Study was conducted as a collaborative academic-practice study. The Magnet Recognition Program recognizes health-care organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. Appreciative Inquiry was used to assist nurses at a community hospital to identify unique organizational strengths, as well as, a vision for the future as they continue on their road to re-designation. Nurse educators and nurses were interviewed to identify unique strengths. Inductive content analysis was used to identify categories that included the strengths and achievements experienced, as well as a vision for future organizational growth. Strengths of the hospital that were identified included a nurturing environment, teamwork, unity, and diversity.
