Nurses General Nursing

Published

I have been MIA from allnurses for a long time so I decided to start a topic...I just received my "nurses week" gift from my management team at the hospital were I work. Last year we got a pen and this year we got one of those tall aluminum bottles that keeps your drinks cold/hot, with the hospital logo on it!! Yay! *sacrasm over* At least we got a useable gift.

Curious on what other facilities have done or currently doing for their staff for nurses week. Please share.

At my university- these mascot/ logo socks are coveted (really) for a number of reasons. We ALL got a pair- sweet!

Public Health Advisors on my team surprised the RNs with breakfast and floral bouquets last Friday. This kind gesture is truly appreciated. However tomorrow May12, the RNs will host breakfast for International Nurses' Day.

We got a cloth that cleans your glasses lol

A large enough insulated lunch bag with a logo "Caring hearts; caring hands", a pen, a badge holder with our hospital logo, candy in the bottom of the lunch bag, and a hospital-wide luncheon yesterday. It is Hospital Week as well so we've been doing things every day here. Monday was dress up as a movie star. Etc.

From management: Cake (which my kid loved). From administrative staff on campus: a nice mug that holds 16 oz or so AND fits in my car's cup holder. But from one classroom came these amazing hand-written notes: "You are SODA Bomb" (with a gift card to Sonic), "We are Nutella about you" (the ez-eat Nutella spread with crackers), gum ("Thanks for going the EXTRA mile)... Teachers are super-creative.
