Unit dues

So, I'm new to my unit. Been there about 6mths. The staff collects $26/yr from nurses and $13/yr from CNAs for unit functions involving money such as baby showers, flowers for a death, and for the annual Christmas party. Not a big amount, but still my money...My deal is that I don't want to contribute, with my thought being, I will contribute to each individual situation as I see fit. I don't plan on going to the Christmas party, so why should I pay for it? I don't want to contribute to each and every baby shower or wedding so why should I pay dues? Does anyone else have unit dues? How do you feel about this?

A general fund for the unit is really preferable to collecting for each event that arises. Otherwise the whole "gift", "flowers", etc. thing can end up looking like a "popularity contest" where some people get a lot of contributions for their wedding, shower, etc. and others are somewhat ignored. A standard fund can eliminate the hurt feelings this sort of thing.

I'd feel uncomfortable saying "Oh, I like this person so I'll contribute to this one, not that one", even if I only said it to myself!

We call is a social fund on my unit. People who chose to particpate give $4.00/month. You can pay each month, or several months at time. Once a month, we have a cake for all birthdays that month and a small gift. If you don't participate in the fund, then we simply don't have a cake/present for you.

You say you don't feel like part of this unit. Maybe its because they are sensing that you "don't want to be friends" with them.

Personally, I would be happy to contribute the $26 (very random amount) and be done with it. Why are they collecting every 2 weeks?

There are 26 pay periods, so it's a $1/pp.:wink2:
