Is it permissible to give a thank you gift to a

[madmom]

home health nurse? My daughter had medical problems requiring home nurse visits and they are about to come to an end. Is it permissible to give her a home made thank you gift? I was thinking a crocheted hat/scarf set. Thanks in advance.

1. Sure.

2. Oh, most definitely!

What a wonderful idea. We gave the home nurse for my grandmother a gift card to Kohl's.

3. I don't see why not.

I think it would be a very nice gesture to show your appreciation this way... nurses are often under-appreciated, imo.

4. I always gave gifts to my daughters care givers. They will tell you if they are not supposed to take

them. Your suggestion is wonderful.

5. I think yes, but foods can be a problem...don't do a fruitcake

6. Oh my yes. You made me think of my mother...

She had 2 or 3 health care workers during the last couple of years before she died (7 yrs ago).
She gave them things from her house that they admired... a wind chime, a sun-catcher, even a hummingbird feeder. So sweet.
I think what you have in mind would also be very sweet (Can I assume hand-made?).

[madmom]

10. Yes, most definitely hand made! ;)

[shenmue]

7. I think so

8. That sounds perfect ...

I was a visiting nurse (for a hospice) in my first career. While it would be inappropriate to accept gifts with "high monetary value" ... a handmade gift (often viewed as priceless) would be perfect and probably very appreciated!

I was always deeply touched when someone would take the time to do something like that for me!

9. I don't see why not...

The world would be a better place if we were all raised to think in terms of what we can give, but it's okay to take if we need to.

11. Of course. You can even do cash Xmas envelopes although the agency will have a fit

if they ever find out.

I wish I'd been able to contact all the people who cared for my mother. They all deserved medals along with gifts.

12. A small home made gift would be nice and is acceptable.

money is not but something like that would be really nice.

13. I think that's a very sweet idea.
