My sister is a nurse. Such thanks are so greatly appreciated. My hunch would be the director of nursing. This past winter a grateful family catered an amazing buffet style lunch for the weekend nurses on the unit my sister supervises. It was a holiday weekend, a tough time for everyone--both patient and staff--to be away from their families. My mother was actually a patient there at the time, so my family was there, and suddenly it was a REAL family holiday for everyone on the floor.
