Inside best practice: Recognize nurses without spending a lot of money
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, December 16, 2008
Want to recognize nurses for their excellence without breaking the bank? No problem. It’s easy to make people smile if you give them treats. But don’t just bring in a box of doughnuts—personalizing the treat makes it meaningful and memorable. Take a look at the following tips, some of which you can prepare in advance so you are ready whenever a member of your team goes above and beyond:
- Attach a handwritten thank you note to a basket filled with candy bars. The recipient can share the treats and the note can be posted for everyone to appreciate.
- Give a roll of Life Savers candy to a staff member who comes in to work an extra shift, and tell the staff member he or she is a “lifesaver.”
- Provide a Nestlé Crunch bar to a nurse who went above and beyond his or her usual duties, along with a note saying “Thanks for helping out in a crunch!”
