Nurses’ Week is all about showing providers some much-needed love and appreciation for their work, and for many nurses, that means getting a gift from a patient, colleague, employer, or loved one. But not all gifts are made equally. We asked our community of nurses to share their best and worst gifts from Nurses’ Week and, oh boy, did they deliver. Some are incredibly thoughtful and touching, while others are downright strange, and maybe even a little insulting.
