Hey, I just wanted to drop in and tell all you nurses thanks. I've never been in the hospital, but a ruptured appendix took care of that one. I HATE the hospital and hope I don't have to go back for another 21 years, but having good nurses make ALL the difference in the world.
I mean, as embarrassing as it is to have somebody pinch your privates & pull a plug with a looong cord out, there is some type of "I hope I never see you again but I'm eternally indebted to you for pulling that thing out..." bonding.
I was going to see if anybody had any ideas about what I could do to show my appreciation to the nursing staff. I was thinking about sending some balloons or a bouquet of flowers with just a note saying thanks, or maybe dropping them off when I go back in to get my drain pulled. Any ideas?
Last but not least, have you ever dated a patient before...or would that just be creepy?

A note of praise to administration gets my vote! We nurses beam at being appreciated! Thank you!
No, I would not date a patient.
