Nursing
Excellence in Human Caring
As the first Southern California hospital to earn Magnet® designation in 2000, Cedars-Sinai has the distinction of being one of only nine hospitals worldwide, and one of two medical centers in the Western United States, to receive this honor five consecutive times. The American Nurses Credentialing Center found that Cedars-Sinai's nursing services "represent the highest standards in the nation and internationally."
As part of the Geri and Richard Brawerman Nursing Institute's commitment to ensuring the successful transition of new graduate nurses into the practice environment, our nurse educators, nursing leadership and human resources recently collaborated to update the curriculum and clinical orientation process.
