What gift should I get for a nursing staff?


Hi, I'm required to spend 2-6 hours twice a week in an oncology department. The nursing staff is fantastic. What should I get them in appreciation?
There must be 15 nurses. Thank you!

That is so sweet and thoughtful of you to think of them! When my father was in the hospital, the nurses who cared for him were absolutely fantastic. My husband and I ordered 5 dozen assorted cookies at my local bakery (a very good one) and we delivered them to the nursing staff with a card of thanks for all they did to my dad.

Nurses like food and cards. Get them something that is loaded with chocolate and/or sugar and they'll be happy!

That's right. I am a nurse and we love chocolates. Make sure you leave some for all the shifts though, as the first ones to see them will devour them.

You are very kind to think of them. It will be much appreciated.

Anything you do to show that you appreciate them is a bonus. I wish all people were more like you!

Gift her a painting of Florence Nightingale or Mother Teresa.
Nurses like paintings.

Since some people might be on a diet, I would suggest some very nice scented soaps, like French milled soaps or something from The Body Shop. The idea is that they should pamper themselves when they get home, and they deserve some TLC like they give to the patients. That is a low cost option. For a higher dollar amount, gift cards to a coffee shop would be nice.
