42 rooms on 5th Ave...wow

I just read that story and thought there is one home health nurse who found it to be worthwhile!

That would be ohh-sooo nice!! Lucky her!

Wow! Good for her. I hope the deceased's family doesnt try and take the $$ from her.

Yea, but....my company has a strict rule that we may not accept a gift from a pt or family member exceeding $25.

Nice for her but not ethical. We all get paid to care for our patients at our jobs. I was taught you never accept a financial reward/tip from your patient. The job should be reward enough. If this happened to me, I would politely decline that huge volume of cash and let the lawyers sort out who will get it. Would I be tempted? Yes ma'm but it just wouldn't be right..

I think it's wonderful, it's not often all our hard work is appreciated. I am sure the patient felt the nurse did an awesome job and was more than a nurse to her.
