Pennie 26 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi May be a bit late now. But I have a contest between the units/halls. The best decorated nurse station/hall wins & they get get a prize, like a pizza party etc. Then I have a contest for residents by best decorated door on each unit/hall. Be sure you post this in newsletter & bulletin boards. This way the family members can get involved. I also do this for Thanksgiving & Xmas. For Xmas the staff gets a paid day off. Of course you need to get permission from the Admin. Let the charge nurse of the unit/hall schedule days off & let them decide who gets it off. Not all of the staff participates. Let her/him decide who these employees are. However you will be surprised how nice the facility looks. Plus less work on activities since you already so busy this time of the year. For Thanksgiving I have given away Turkeys, gift cards from local store etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
