Happy nurses week to my fellow JWN nurses! Does anyone work for a good employer who does anything special for you for the week? My company doesn't.

Happy Nurses week to you serenitynow! The hospital I work for has a whole week of activities planned for the nurses:ice cream social, Nures's tea day
where we can register for Certified Nurse Scholarships. They also have a day where nurses give an example of how they feel they have made a difference
in a patient's life. The winner of the essay recieves a prize. They have a special treat planned for night shift, which is what I work; don't know what that
will be, probably some pizza. We also usually receive a small gift such as a coffee cup or something along that line. I am surprised your employer doesn't do
anything for you. Most places usually do a little something for the nurses. As hard as we work, we need a little show of thanks once in a while don't you
think?

The union [local bargaining unit] sent a huge gift basket full of sweets and treats to each unit in the hospital, plus the union's head office sent out keychain flashlights with their last newsletter.
The hospital usually provides coffee coupons from the cafeteria for Nurses' Week, but I haven't seen any yet. Plus the CEO usually goes around with the one of the medical directors on the evening shift to each unit, handing out cookies and tea or coffee to the nurses. I'll find out if that's happening tomorrow when I'm working nights.
There was a skills fair today that was pretty interesting. Various units and committees made poster presentations of initiatives they've been working on, including 2 from the NICU where I work.
There's a Nurses' Week Luncheon on Friday. Usually I'll attend if I'm not working or sleeping. You pay $10 for your ticket and the union sponsors the rest. Every time I've gone it's been an amazing buffet lunch. I have to skip this year because I'm coming off night shift and will be dead to the world. The units will bring in extra staff to cover nurses who want to go to the Luncheon, and the hospital provides shuttle bus service to the venue where it's being held.
They've organized a volleyball tournament for 20 teams from various units for tomorrow night. Again... I'll be working, so can't even go and cheer for my team.

Happy Nurses Week to all of you. I just completed Anatomy & Physiology 2 with an "A" and will hopefully get accepted to the RN program at the college I'm attending. I take the TEAS test this Friday so wish me luck everyone!
