Ours last year was a Walmart card for $50. Probably the same this year.

Specializes in DD, Geriatrics, Neuro.

I got $25 this year. The max at our facility is $150. It's a non profit, so I understand.

$50 gift certificate to Wal-Mart, party, & country ham supper at our cafeteria...served by the DON, CEO, & the other big wigs. They cooked fresh food for nights...so we did not get leftovers.

Our hospital has a gain share program (technically not a bonus) but it comes at the holidays. It is based on meeting financial and patient satisfaction goals. Everyone in the org gets the same amount based on FT/PT status. The FT employees received $400 and the PT received $200 gross. We also are served an employee Christmas meal and each receive a ham or a turkey.

Specializes in Med/Surg, Geriatrics.

I received a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble from the Chief of our division. I also received a $25 gift card to Target from the University. The place I was working for the past 4 years gave NOTHING so I guess I should be happy with this. In fact, this is probably the most I have ever received in bonuses, gifts or whatever. No scratch that, there's no probably about it. It IS the most I've ever received.

He he he, funny posts.

I want one of those jobs where they pay based on service, maybe they could give me $1 for every hour of unpaid OT I worked this year (365).

But seriously, from my hospital job we get nothing, have to pay $17.50 per person for the priveledge of attending the Christmas party (I didn't), and they have a potluck lunch one day in December.

My LTC job, staff holds a party that staff fund pays for with a nice meal and entertainment, they also have a secret santa stocking where you buy a gift for your mystery recipient and get one from a secret santa, every friday the month of December. On Christmas there is a big "reveal". They also do a cookie exchange.

As far as from the LTC management, our administrator goes around with his little box of day planners with the company name on it, for us to keep track of our shifts in, he acts like he's handing you a $100 bonus, one girl shook hers upside down and asked where the money was. I don't use mine, it's too small, one nurse said she peels the label off and gives it as a stocking stuffer to someone else, LOL.

We are supposed to take turns working Christmas, but have to find our own replacement if we are scheduled, good luck with that! and if we work Christmas we are supposed to get new years eve off. I had to fight for that one this year. We are given Christmas dinner if we work and nights gets the leftovers. I'm working nights this year.

Oh, I forgot, Hubby got $100 gift certificate for Costco, $100 for Marks Work Warehouse and a nice dinner out to Tony Romas and tickets to the WHL Teddy Bear Toss Hockey Game. It was a nice night out, but my dad owns the company, Ha Ha!

Specializes in floor to ICU.

My Dh (non-nursing/private company) got $500 and a nice fleece jacket w/ company logo. Also, his Christmas party was at the beach in a very elegant hotel. The company paid for our rooms there so we could stay the night. They had a nice sit down dinner and served prime rib, salmon and had tons of yummy-looking desserts.

I work at the hospital and will get time and a half for my Christmas Day shift (7a-7p). No present or bonus (yet?) Not sure if they are feeding us- we always do a potluck ourselves on Med Surg with a Secret Santa gift exchange.
