System for writing thank you notes to a nurse. They give you a little enamel pin to put on your badge that I'm not comfortable possibly accidentally losing on an acute psych unit so they're just scattered around my house. Then about every quarter each hospital gives an award to one of the nominees (although usually an employee with better optics than one of the night shift psychiatry goblins). So like, objectively, at least a few of my patients feel cared for. It's just hard to feel that way sometimes. I'm more protective of the actual written messages than the pins. I have one from a patient I received from the outgoing shift in restraints that I keep in the frame with my license (and it's not like I let them out right away either, most of what they were happy with was me catching their dystonia but I had the advantage of having had it myself before).

i have had a nurse i have wanted to thank for decades (i had major surgery, my mother wanted to stay overnight in my room and this kind nurse let my mother get cleaned up at her place. we were going to get a gym membership but she would not hear of it. she almost got in a fistfight with a radiologist for me. all i ever knew was her first name, she was the best). i had no idea there was a formal system. how widespread is this? (is it just psych?)

is this? (is it just psych?)

Not at all, it originated in medical iirc

Thanks for the info; I’d never heard of that.
