    What do your employers spring for on nurses' week?

    Hi there - Community Health Nurse here. Today my boss gave all of us a beautiful gerbera daisy to plant in the garden and a $10 gift card to Starbucks.

    Happy Nurses Week to my fellow RNs out there! B)

    Cheers to your new knees and feel better soon!

    A pencil sharpener? A local high school maybe was going out of business and they had a liquidation sale? I hope you guys sent thank you notes.

    Night shift. Oy. I did that on and off for years but had to stop in my 40s. I never mastered the art of sleeping for any consecutive number of hours during the day. And three hours of sleep wasn't cutting it. During the end of my latest night shift tenure three years ago I was so sick and half blind from fatigue I was peeing blood.

    My hat is off and I bow deeply and reverently to anyone over 35 who can do the 11 to 7 thing.

    Thanks! The new knees are coming along :)

    I've been a nurse for 30 years...it's freaky just to type that out...and went to straight nights when my kids were little about 24 years ago...kids are big now but find I prefer the lack of admin and frantic activity on nights...lol I'm 54 btw
    But it's not for everybody, your experience sounds horrible, sorry that happened

    Happy nurses week! I work in surgical services! Which means that even though we're halfway through the week and I spend hours in a confined space with physicians, I've yet to have even one acknowledge our holiday!
