It has been a fun-filled time around here lately as we celebrate Nurses Week. I have the privilege of being on the Nurses Week Committee that is responsible for planning all the fun! I think what makes it so interesting is the unbelievable variety of ways we go about honoring and rewarding the hard work of our nursing staff.
I was especially proud of a decision by our staff to forego their own gift and instead give to others. It was felt that in these tough times, it was just the right thing to do. Not surprising really, if you know the people around here. The funds that would have been used for a staff gift instead went to fund two nurse-related Clarian charitable programs, a scholarship to a deserving nursing student, and a generous donation to help a nurse and their family in a time of need. Just like the hearts of nurses….usually taking care of others before themselves. The staff does receive some great recognition, too. Ice cream delivery to all the nursing units is a huge hit. There is nothing like hearing “woo-hoo” when you go into a staff lounge and tell them you just brought dessert on a busy Sunday afternoon. Or if it is a really busy day, it may be lunch! There is Clinique Day, tickets to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game, tickets to a Colts game in the Clarian suite, and tickets to practice at the Indianapolis 500.
It is a great time to recognize all that our staff provide to our patients and families each day and night, 365 days a year. They are truly deserving of all the fun that comes their way!
