A surveyor’s eye
Nine years as a nursing surveyor for a national accreditation body outside the United States across 91 hospitals. We prepare your teams for the questions surveyors ask on the units.
For US hospitals
Magnet and accreditation frameworks applied with working knowledge of hospital operations and survey practice, from a founder with 17 years in nursing quality.
Our founder surveyed hospitals for an accreditation body outside the United States and has not served as a surveyor for a US accreditor or as a Magnet appraiser. Designation decisions rest solely with the ANCC Commission on Magnet Recognition. Accreditation decisions rest with the accrediting body. We do not guarantee designation, accreditation, survey or exam outcomes.

Ahmad Abu Jaber
A surveyor who now works on your side of the table
After 17 years in nursing quality, patient safety and accreditation, Ahmad saw the same pattern in hospital after hospital. Teams did strong work, then struggled to show it when the surveyors arrived.
He founded Nursing Edge Advisory to help hospitals build that evidence into the routine of each unit, well before the visit.
Nine years as a nursing surveyor for a national accreditation body outside the United States across 91 hospitals. Former Head of Quality Improvement and Accreditation, Security Forces Hospital, Dammam. Quality roles at Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare and King Hussein Cancer Center.
