Glad she’s in and out! We’re in the unfortunate situation of a month+ inpatient stay and have slipped the nurses $100 Amazon gift cards and the aides $25 Starbucks ones. We also drop things at the nursing station every day, and don’t forget about the second shift! They rarely get offerings as it turns out and they are visibly delighted to get stuff. Over the course of even one week, there’s a lot of individuals involved; they work 3 12 hour shifts, so that’s 12 different nurses when you count both shifts. Only 1 of the nurses turned over her gift card and ratted me to the charge nurse, who sternly told me it is not allowed. I told him to buy something for the floor then because I won’t take it back.
He’s getting good care anyway- but to give is to receive and I don’t mind sprinkling some genuine appreciation around to some very hard working people.
