We argued it out: Should you thank your labor nurses with gifts?
Should new mothers give a thank you gift to their labor nurses? Overall, labor nurses are overworked and underappreciated. They are pulled in many different directions to tend to their patient’s specific needs. Gifting them a thank you note, a fruit basket, or some pizzas is a very nice gestures. Expressing thanks is never wrong and sometimes just saying it doesn’t feel like enough. So go ahead and send the nurse’s station some sweet treats or gift cards to that Au Bon Pain in the hospital. It will definitely be used and appreciated.
Key Takeaways:
- Sending gifts is appropriate as you want to thank them for a job well done.
- Nurses are under appreciated for what they do. It is nice for them to know someone cares.
- Nurses help you at some of your lowest and most tender moments.
“All that said, it’s always lovely to bring a gift from your heart to anyone. Saying “thank you” or “I care” with a food treat is a thoughtful and delightful thing to do.”
