Magnet Designated

The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet Model provides a framework for clinical, operational, and leadership practice, serving as a roadmap for Stanford Nursing's ongoing pursuit toward nursing excellence.

PPM

The SHC Professional Practice Model (PPM) illustrates how nurses support the organization's mission, vision, and national professional standards of nursing practice. Symbolizing our patient-centered beliefs and values, the PPM exemplifies nurse autonomy over clinical practice and the practice environment, depicting effective communication between interprofessional to result in high-quality patient care.

Caritas

Beginning in 2007, SHC embraced Jean Watson's transformative "Caring Science" theory of human caring and love. This intertwining of "Caring Science" with nursing practice translates into increased intentionality and a deepening of authentic presence; thereby renewing nurse relationships through universal, ethical, and person-centered care.
