Heehee- our facility celebrates hospital week to get the whole mess over and done with. They do it all during the day too, so noone in admin loses any sleep. They really outdid themselves this year. Each department makes up a gift basket and we get free raffle tickets with our paycheck, and the baskets are raffled off. Nice, right? Nope, the EMPLOYEES come up with ideas for the baskets, pay for the stuff and put them together for the raffle. No admin effort whatsoever, unless you count reading off the tickets and getting the glory. I admit, I bow to their audacity, it's so devious, so sneaky, that my hat's off to them.

After reading the previous posts I feel pretty darned lucky. I work weekend option....went to work yesterday and found 2 notes. One was an invitation to a luncheon on Monday to thank all the nurses for their care. the second was a personal thank you card and pin from HR. The hospital I worked at before this place was like many others. National Hospital Week and lunped us all together. So I sure know how lucky I was to find this job.

We got a corsage on Nurse's day and a lunch at the LTC facility I worked at. I do private duty home health and the mom bought be a bouquet of flowers and a card!

I got a beautiful card, a really nice engraved business card holder, chocolates, pens (never enought of those!), and lunch. Our admin also makes a big deal for social workers and docs on their days, also.

If a computer print-out on an 8x11 piece of paper taped to the front door stating "Happy Nurses Week!" equals aknowledgement, then yes, I suppose they do.

we got nothing...nothing...nothing...
I commend each nurse, cna, healthcare team etc no matter if you are man/woman its not about the chocolates, money, baskets, pins, someone noticing your hardwork and efforts goes a looooong way...so be encouraged

My facility plays every "week" up a bit. We got root beer floats during social service week, we got smoothies during nurse's week, they buy us pizza during nursing home week, we had bagels and cream cheese on administrative professional's day. They don't go overboard with gifts or anything, but they always find a reason to give us snacks.
