"Donations"

[rn9687]

Just wondering what people think of donating items to patients. I work on a pediatric floor with patients whose parents/families never come to visit and don't have their own clothes. Is it crossing a boundary if "donations" randomly appear in their belongings? We accept clothing donations all the time from strangers - why not from staff? It wouldn't affect patient care in any way - the patients don't know you're giving them clothes - they're too young to know. Thoughts?

I know what you mean!  PM me when you remember it. ?

It's CONGRATS I believe.

Yup, that's the one

You have it Rose.  Fixed now?  Let's see, CONGRATS on figuring out CONGRATS.

Well, I guess so much for that supposition.  Just because it types out OK doesn't mean it makes it OK to the actual post.  Irksome, yes.
