Like that screenname. Can't help but think there is someone somewhere with the name in reverse. LOL
Anyway, I think nowhere would a gift of cookies be more appreciated than a psych hospital. It might break some of the tension because I don't think people think to do that stuff for themselves anymore. I hope you win!
If you came in my hospital (psych) on your first day with baked goods, we would just adore you!! How thoughtful that would be, and how nice.....once you start working you probably won't have the time to bake anything, so it would be a wonderful gesture for your first day !!
Please come work with us....
I don't think anyone in psych would disagree with me....
a new nurse from another unit brought me a cinnimon flavored coffee just to introduce herself....I really needed that coffee, too...and will remember her name and the nice gesture, for sure....
I think it is a great idea....why question kindness and thoughfulness from one of our own??????

my best friend who is also a nurse and I are having a silly little disagreement about something.
Just thought we'd settle it here, lol.
Say you are a brand new nurse, on a brand new psych (or any) unit.
On your first day, would it or would it not be considered weird to come walking onto the
unit bearing gifts, in the form of food goodies for your new co-workers?
The loser (my friend or I) has to make a batch of baked goodies for the other.....
so please give your professional opinion.
