The Gold Standard of Nursing Excellence

Ochsner Medical Center – New Orleans, located at 1514 Jefferson Highway, achieved the American Nursing Credentialing Center Magnet Recognition® for Excellence in Nursing Services in 2003 and was re-designated in 2008 and 2019. We are among less than 1% of hospitals in the nation to have achieved Magnet designation four times.

The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program® distinguishes health care organizations that meet rigorous standards for nursing excellence. This credential is the highest national honor for professional nursing practice. Earning Magnet recognition is a great accomplishment and an incredible source of pride for our nurses.
