- I buy sodas. Give them their Diet Coke, cigarettes and 'dip- dip'...and they're happy.
- I buy certain residents food during my lunch breaks. Healthy things like Subway, McDonald's Snack Wraps, etc...
I'd buy for everyone but then they'd all have 'expectations'. It's bad enough that they 'shake me down' for soda money every time I come to work.
Just a patient, but I had a nurse who knew I was feeling down, I woke up and found on my tray table a "Get Well" card, every nurse on the unit signed it, each wrote something nice or funny in the card, and it did cheer me up!! My nurse told me I figured since you like nurses so much that you would get a kick out of it. I thought it was nice of them to take time to write in the card. It was something small but meant so much to me.

Nurses do amazing and creative things to make their patient's day brighter.
My daughter was greeted with this wonderful artwork last week when she went in for a well visit ? It sure made her feel special! Kudos to creative nurses!
Please share your stories or cool things you have seen other nurses do to put a smile on a patients face ?
