And Magnet status may be tied to reimbursement and includes degree status of nurses/professionals on staff as well as certifications and on-going education as PART of excellent patient care. I agree B-F should be a requirement!

Magnet status would have nothing to do with hiring RN-LC's vs LC's. Magnet status is the entire hospital working together to acheive excellence in patient care.
