Congratulations to all those "old" nurses, new nurses and nurses2b on Nurse's Day.

Does your employer do anything special to recognize this day?

The aides and orderlies are invited, since our NM believes that EVERYONE is valuable, and deserves recognition.

Absolutely. We also include the unit secretaries. There's also a "nursing support" award that we give out every year, this year it went to some guys in the supply depart. It takes a team.

Next week is hospital week and we're going to get t-shirts and free food again. Woot!

Nothing, nada. Not even a mention of it. I have a good boss. I wonder if she just overlooked it.

We received a squirt bottle (so we don't have to take breaks) and a small potable FM scanner with earphones (so we don't have to hear them complain when we take breaks anyway):rotfl:

Our hospital recognizes something practically every week. Respiratory Therapist Week, Lab Week, Secretaries Week, Doctors Week, Dietary Week, Rehab Week, on and on and on. I can see why acknowledging Hospital Week only would be the way to go.

Well just so happens on nurses day our hospital had an Employee Picnic?? I guess that is there way of getting out of making it more personal. But they did give us a picnic style lunch and a 12pack of cokes... And Friday Chik Fil A had sent them a bunch of coupons just for nurses for a free chicken sandwich... Better than nothing :)

You are so sweet!!! Us CNA's appriciate and value the nurses that value us . . . and bring us lunch tee hee :)

We do celebrate hospital week at my facility. Theres a BBQ, dress-up days like pajama day, 50's day, and my favorite part . . . the staff olympics. Its so much fun.
