What did your hospital or employer get the staff for nurses week? I am still laughing about what WE got! A melted gooey candy apple, a rice crispie square, and a 120ml container of highly delectable and ever festive fruit punch! What a spread! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Well our hospital doesn't even mention that it is Nurses Week! We are soooo inclusive that everyone celebrates Hospital Week!! The VP of Nursing sent our a little card and our Team Leader gave us a little tote bag!! I would have been shocked to even see a note in the paper thanking the nurses for all their hard work. It was Doctor's Day and there were posters and very nice gifts given to them! It just sort of ticks me off that nursing isn't more respected or appreciated. I feel we really need to start demanding what we need and "toot our own horn" more!!

Glad someone mentioned the MD's Day: here they get prime rib, lobster, roses, etc.(they complain about the food: they're tired of the same menu since they get it so often at medical staff meeting)
You've heard the one about: if God is a ten the the surgeons must be elevens.
