gratitude for staff at clinical site

[all4schwa]

We are wanting to do something nice for the staff on the floor we work for clinical rotation (surg/peds), our instructor has offered to pay for it, any ideas? pizza, candy? something less obvious would be nice...

:biggringi we always brought a gift for the clinical instructor at the end of each clinical. this sort of annoyed me because some of the instructors would expect it rather than appreciate it. the gifts we gave were usually r/t their interests. a borders gift card, a gift basket with scrapbooking supplies. one time we even made a fleece blanket, which was fairly easy. a large piece of fleece (big enough to cover a bed) and then 3-4 inch slits made all over the edge. the edge pieces then tied into knots to keep from unraveling. the instructor loved it. good luck.
