Hey guys

I'm a nursing student. Will graduate in May 2006.

I just had my OR clinical rotation two weeks ago.

The nurse I had in charge of me was just THE best. I'm not kidding - so kind, helpful, warm, gracious, accomodating - in short, FANTASTIC!

I mean, I reached quite late the 2nd day of the rotation (car trouble :rolleyes: ) and was quite stressed out because I thought I'd blown it. She didn't skip a beat - gave a hearty laugh, cracked a few jokes, put me at ease and instantly tried to find the next available patient so that I could make the most out of what time I had left.

So at the end of the rotation - I left with this big grin on my face. I'd learned TONS. I'd probably have stayed there all wekk if they'd let me! :roll I LOVED it SO much.

So anyway, I've been thinking "There's gotta be a way I can say "Thank You!" to this wonderful nurse". She was a great nurse and a good instructor too.

So I went right ahead and bought a thank you card from hallmark.

Would it be correct/right for me to give it to her? I plan on writing a little note thanking her and then dropping it off at reception desk to be delivered to her.

Any ideas ladies and gentlemen? :)

Thank You!

What a wonderful thing Roy. I think the hallmark idea is perfect or you can make your own personalized card and write some thankful words. Good luck :)

I think a card is very appropriate. My school had a $5.00 gift limit rule for their policy. We usually had about 12 people to a group and everyone threw in $5.00 and we bought gift certificates to places like the Outback. This way we were able to give a nicer gift.

Check to see if your school has a policy on monetary limits.
