Hiring an experienced consultant can save you time and
money in this era of decreasing resources.

 “We had used another consultant in our Magnet Journey®, but did not make the progress we needed. A colleague referred us to Dr. Brady Schwartz. It makes a real difference working with a consultant who has been a CNO and has created the culture needed to achieve Magnet™ designation. Working closely with her, we were able to make the needed changes to create a Magnet™ culture and were successful in our goal to become a Magnet™ hospital. Thanks so much Diane for your wisdom and expertise!”

C. A. Chief Nursing Officer, Magnet™ designated hospital

 “Diane was instrumental in working with our facility during our Magnet Recognition Program® journey. She brought expertise and insight that was extremely helpful during our interpretation and writing of our document. Diane was even willing to conference call with us at almost any time that we needed her assistance. In addition, she traveled to our facility to help gear up our staff for our successful site survey. I'm convinced that Diane's help was a key component in our achieving our goal to achieve this national recognition!”

 “Diane Brady-Schwartz should be on every hospital’s speed dial. Her expertise with standards for research and evidence-based practice was invaluable. As the coordinator of our Research program, I found that Diane's recommendations were essential in building an infrastructure that is professional yet practical within the nursing environment. Diane was available to our staff from the early morning until late at night. Diane extended herself to meet our deadlines and did whatever it took to get the job done. Diane's professionalism, experience and personal warmth added up to an excellent formula for success on our Magnet Recognition Program® Journey. Our research program is stellar and continues to grow with our staff fully engaged in our culture of inquiry.”

D. V. Chief Nursing Officer/VP Operations Magnet™ designated facility

 “Diane Brady-Schwartz was able to come into our organization after our initial writing of our documents and help us assess our strengths and weaknesses. After one session with her, we were able to rewrite some of our standards with more confidence and with clarity. She has a way of helping you see beyond where you are. She works hard with you, and she provides helpful tips to make you successful. Diane was never too busy to help you. She accepted our calls and always made time to answer questions. She is one of the best consultants I have ever worked with. It is rare to find a consultant who works so hard to help you be successful! Our lesson is to hire Diane sooner and save a lot of rework!”
