Flavored coffee. Hospital coffee tastes like someone washed their feet in it.

Our break room looks like some sort of Animal Planet documentary as soon as someone sets down some free food and drink.

Good strong French roast coffee, and plenty of it. Some fudge would be nice too.
By the way Marie_LPN, I love your new avatar.

Fruit and/or vegetables, perhaps with cheese cubes or dip, would be nice. Very few people wouldn't be able to enjoy at least some part of that.

Personally, I would steer clear of things like candy or coffee. Otherwise nurses who may have dietary restrictions or who may not like coffee would just be left out.

Thanks for the input, all.

It looks like fruit/veggie plates and some good coffee would take the cake (so to speak).

I appreciate the "may look like a suck-up" caution. It's kind of funny because of the many things of which I've been accused in my life, a suck-up is not one of them. I don't think I'd ever take credit for putting the treats in there. Probably they'd be from our class as a whole.

To me, it's something along the lines of always bringing something to a party or a dinner -- just to acknowledge the effort of the host.

Tempurpedic pillows (down is acceptable). A soft light (candle light or lava lamp are both appropriate*). A soothing voice (may be disembodied). The smell of the ocean (fresh spring, or spring rain work too). My dog (or spouse).

*Caution with oxygen tanks if candle light is chosen

or, ok, reality? really? ughh. a tidy place to sit down. Some fresh fruit--covered please, flies not welcome in paradise. A friendly colleague and a moment to share a smile, even if it's the saddest or most aggravated smile you can muster.

Peace
