what's a good present for some friendly nurses who taught me little tricks to work better before I leave the hospital I'm working at?

Submitted ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨vestmoria@linux.community⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

most of the nurses I work with, I don’t care about them, but there are five that for whatever reason took an interest to teach me several little tricks that make my job run smoother.

Before I leave the unit and hospital, I’d like to give each one of them a small token of appreciation.

All of them are women, 2 of them are married, this is in no way whatsoever romantic.

i was thinking pastries but not for the whole unit, but for each of them.

Another option would be a flower for each one of them.

I don’t know them that well personally, because I’m on the introverted side and like to separate my private life from my workplace.

Thank you card with a clear message explaining what they taught you + a $10 Starbucks/local coffee shop gift card?

  Yeah, this. It would be tasteful to get a gift card to any local coffee shop, or Target, or one of those $20 Visa gift cards, though they have like a $5 overhead just to activate them.
  
  Homemade pastries are a bit weird if you don’t know someone that well, and store-bought pastries are hard if you don’t know what they like.

    The Visa gift card, bc then they can use as they please - vices, spices, and crisis.

Here’s a fun little present.

If you’re in the US go to the bank and get a roll of gold dollar coins. Then go to a hobby shop and get some draw string bags, the kind Robin Hood would carry.

I’m pretty sure no one has ever given any of them a bag of gold coins before.

  Do American banks all have gold dollars in store, or is this something that has to be “booked” in advance?

    Some banks have them, some don’t. It depends on what’s in stock that day. Tried to ask for a stack of US$2 bills once and they told me I’d need to place an order for US$10,000 in order to get them in because they don’t keep them stocked.

    Dollar coins haven’t been popular in the US for a long time. Same with fifty cent pieces. If you ask for a roll of dollar coins you’ll get a bunch of silver colored ones in with the gold ones. The last time I did it it took a couple of trips, but my buddy really liked it. He’s into fantasy.

A personalized thank-you card/note, for sure… telling them you appreciate their help and how it has helped you grow and/or become better at what you do. Doesn’t have to be long, just a quick thank you

For a small token: a fun badge reel is usually always welcome. Maybe a very tiny gift bag with a keychain-sharpie, a badge reel, keychain (tiny) flashlight. Things nurses always use and appreciate, not very expensive. Coffee gift card is normally always welcome too, but can be a little more expensive, depending on your budget
