So, with nurses week coming up, I was fondly remembering all the neat swag my employer has offered me as a token of their appreciation.
Over the last four years as a nurse I have received -
A calculator that broke in one week,
A fanny pack that was made out of sheet plastic,
A coupon for a free cookie from the cafeteria,
Shoelaces with the hospital logo,
A lunch bag made out of the same sheet plastic as the fanny pack,
And the only gift that was ever usefull, a badge holder like the drug reps give out where your badge is on a string with a spring.
so what kind of gifts does your institution pony up for?
There have to be some worse ones than mine.
We all know that a cheap trinket from our employer will ensure our future longevity with said institution. So what made you stay working where you are.
I never expect anything but the cheapest fall-apart trinket from admin.
I really appreciated it, however, when my NM bought each nurse a personal gift out of her own pocket. That's been great and really meant something to me.

This thread has been going on for more than 5 years! Go Allnurses!
nurses week always shows off the cheapest trinkest. i think the drug reps almost always have better things!
