Denim shirts with the company logo

Swiss Army-type knives with fourteen blades

Carnations in dollar-shop vases

One wilted rose

Soap on a rope

I think I'm worth more than this

A live band at the Holiday Inn

A potato bar luncheon

If you weren't there, you got nada

Nothing

Not a thing

A PA announcement thanking the nurses

We dug out our caps & wore them all day our VP of Nursing came to the unit and stayed for an hour we sat with her & shared our stories of why we went into nursing

We got pizza one day (if you were there) and ice cream one day (if you were there)

Rolos, Skittles and M&Ms-give me the tools to do my job instead of tote bags and candy

A drawing for some pretty cool prizes-movies, massages, a month off call

A bonus

We got to work overtime!!

I presented my findings to the Executive Team and found out Tuesday that they had approved another nurse . . . the best thing I could have gotten

One of my patients agreed to an interview with a local paper and our story made the front page

My Mom is proud that I'm a nurse, so I got a Hallmark from her

Smiles, hugs, great gifts that cost no money

They did away with the corny shoelaces, thank god

Overall it's kinda nice

I was thinking about all nurses out there this week

I appreciate all of you.
