Retirement is a huge milestone for many adults, especially after a long and fulfilling career. To help a fellow nurse celebrate this special occasion, consider planning a small surprise party at work.
Ask coworkers to bring in a dish or dessert for everyone to enjoy. Take the initiative to buy a card and have all of the coworkers sign and share their best wishes. If the retiree is more of a friend than just a fellow nurse that you work with, consider buying a gift. You can also ask others to contribute to the group gift. The point is to make it a memorable and special celebration to show appreciation.
Simple gestures can go a long way to making a retiring nurse feel like she or he truly made a difference.
