Good points, Jim about Nurse's Week and graduation ceremonies. We've come a distance at my hospital for Nurse's Week. On Monday, the management team serves three complementary meals during regular hours and a breakfast at midnight for the night shift. On Friday, ice cream sundaes. Additionally, the nurses received a backpack picnic set. Last year it was a folding camp chair. Although there are always negative comments, I think these service oriented ideas and gifts are good. Nothing "pink" there. I didn't attend my graduation ceremony because I lived too far from the school but I think it was more focused on the commencement and diploma. I could've ordered a pin didn't since I wouldn't wear it. Is there even a cap ceremony at all, any more? I haven't heard about that in years. If there is such a thing still happening somewhere, I wonder what is done for the male graduate. What have you seen or heard?
