Welcome to Nursing at Riley Children’s Health I’m excited to share our 2023 Riley Children’s Health Nursing Annual Report on behalf of the amazing 1,660 clinical nurses here at Riley Children’s. Every day, our nurses show their dedication to providing exceptional care to children with complex conditions and those with not-so-complex conditions.
In this report, we’ll dive into our strategic priorities, our professional practice model and some of the quality improvement projects that helped us earn our fifth Magnet Recognition Program® status in 2024. This recognition is particularly special as it’s our second one independent from the IU Health Adult Academic Health Center. At Riley Children’s, we work together within a strong professional governance structure alongside our interprofessional colleagues. This collaboration allows us to make decisions that improve our practice environment and keep us on track for success in caring for our patients and their families. Whether we’re caring for Indiana’s sickest kids or jumping into action for community health needs, Riley nurses always step up. We’re all about delivering top-notch care, pushing the boundaries in our field, and showing compassion to our patients and community. Thanks for taking an interest in Riley Nursing. We hope this report gives you a good insight into how committed we are as nurses to providing evidence-based, patient-centered care, which Riley Children’s is known for worldwide.
