I already asked and I was told that we weren't allowed to wear costumes, although the physician's sometimes do. :0 In response, I stated that I was still going to dress up. This year I'm going be a nurse! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

the only holiday i saw mildly celebrated last year was thanksgiving where anyone that worked got a free meal.......from the cafeteria, open during select times.lol

we hold a community "trunk or treat" where employees go all out with costumes and games and the hospital supplies treats. Kids and families walk by the decorated vehicles to collect treats. Last year we had >3000.

No dress up in the hospital, except pedi nurses can wear seasonal tops, but nothing on face. Infection control prohibits. Same with other holidays. We decorate the hospital at Christmas but very discreetly.
