Certified Nurses Day excluding people

Nurses Relations

Published

Today I was in charge of handing out ribbons and trinkets to all of our certified nurses on the unit for Certified Nurses Day.

It felt awkward to "skip over" RN's who were not specialty certified so I tried to do it as discreetly as possible.

An I overreacting thinking that how our hospital handles Certified Nurses Day is exclusionary and in poor taste? Even if well meaning?

What do other hospitals do for Certified Nurses Day?

No one EVER sends me a Mother's Day card......waaaahhhh I'm offended!!!

Have we turned into such socialists that anyone who stands above the crowd must be mowed down to size????

You really must have skipped the Poli Sci class that discussed socialism.

I believe what you are trying to say is the politically correct beings or members of the nanny state.

To me it really doesn't matter. Certified nurses is to celebrate to those nurses that go above and beyond in their profession to better themselves professionally. Organizations benefit from those that are certified especially Magnet organizations. Most hospitals celebrate nurses week, hospital week as well as recognition to other disciplines. Lets all as a profession to celebrate each others growth rather then feel offended.
