Does your employer recognize "Nurse's Day"?

Published

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

Does your employer do anything special to recognize this day?

I am a c.c.r.n who has been on a private duty vent case for one year. Work for the largest hospital group in my area.The 3 fulltime r.n. on this case got nothing. I suspect in the office they had something everyday, but we here who supply them with the means by which they have a job got nothing.

bad treatment from my boss. In fact, I got this gift from my employer all year.

From my patients I received many sincere thanks and tons of appreciation and gratitude. I had the pleasure of providing care for many people in dire need of nursing interventions and advocacy every day. The appreciation from my patients makes up for all the criticism that I received from my "superiors" for merely doing the right thing.

Not around here. Not a peep from anyone in the entire county. Guess we rate right up there with the dust bunnies. You only find them when you when you have the unexpected (visitors) occurance.

We had a "door prize drawing"- all the door prizes were things left by vendors- pens, coffee cups, and note pads....and the office staff won about 60% of the items....*sigh*.... I guess they still don't get it.......

I work in a satellite facility, about 25 miles from the main campus. This year, the Grand Poobahs of patient care services brought a bunch of salads, roast beef, chicken-done-something-to, rolls, potatoes, ad nauseum. Since I work nights, most of the food was well on its way to putrification. The leftovers looked and tasted like leftovers. They brought it over in the morning, so day shift glommed on to most of it, further exacerbating the War Between the Shifts. :angryfire We also got some el cheapo trinket thing, with the hospital logo on it. Oh boy. Could they spare it?

We didn't get squat for nurses day. I expected at least a freaken card. They did offer a CEU course about stress management but that was it.

Our office recoginized each of the "NURSES" with a floral hanging basket of our choice and a very appreciative "THANK-YOU"!

Our Doctors also never fail to say "THANK-YOU" at the end of each day.

Our facility not only celebrated nurses day but they had something all week long. Every nurse recieved a nurse pin with a plant, and we had fun things to eat all week. I feel fortunate that I work in a facility that not only recognizes us on nurses day but all through the year. It is not unusual for the nurse manager or the DON to let you know how much you are appreciated when you are walking out the door at the end of your shift. Even the over niters had fresh food and treats when they came in for their shift. It was a fun week.

My sister sent me a happy nurse's day card (she's also a nurse). Like many of you we have hospital week which is OK but I wish my boss would recognize nursing day
