What’s Right in Nursing: Inspiring Nurses
Ideas for Celebrating
- Give stationery to your team and ask them to send a thank you note or letter to your nursing mentors, best nursing instructor, best manager and thank them for all they do and have done.
- Ask your team to write their best stories from their nursing journey. Put these together and make copies for everyone to have and share.
- Find a nursing home in your area that might have a retired nurse or two in residence. Bring them some gifts from your team and thank them for all they've done.
- Organize a luncheon for the most senior nurses and newest nurses in your organization and create questions and answers and look for ways to create mentoring relationships.
- Give your team Inspired Nurse by Rich Bluni, RN, read it as a team and use the Discussion Guide to foster dialogue.
- Send a press release to your local paper highlighting nurses week and stories of the impact nurses have had.
- Host fun games such as a mock Olympics where departments/units complete against each other.
