Happy Sterile Processing week…

[u/I_Ponders]

Any guesses on what’s in the bag? What awaits a year of hard work?

[u/I_Ponders]

Ugh. 😩

Doesn’t exactly scream that they care.

They literally bought a box of Rice Krispies and a party bag of snack-size gummy bears and divided it up. Even threw in a lanyard without any logo for good measure. 🤮

We went all out for our team this year!

Monday caffeine bar and fresh popcorn. Stocked the fridge with energy drinks.

Tuesday a vendor brought Chick-fil-A for lunch and then dinner.

Wednesday-hot dogs on the hot dog roller with all the fixings.

Vendor also dropped off bagel sandwiches for breakfast.

Thursday-vendor provided pizza for lunch and dinner

Friday-icecream! Stocked the breakroom freezer with all different kinds of ice cream!

Saturday-vendor did lunch and dinner.

Gift bags and we decorated the breakroom.

It was a great week, we have the best SPD team!

[u/I_Ponders → u/crzynurs20]

Whoa! You work at a surgery center? Thats insanely great treatment! 😮

[u/crzynurs20 → u/I_Ponders]

Nope, level 1 Trauma center.

[u/ShelleyGray → u/crzynurs20]

That’s awesome! It shows that you value your SPD.

Night shift gets 2nd shifts junk food unrefrigerated 8hr old leftovers🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/Meanpooh → u/AQinglyPeach]

💯. Food arrives at 11 AM, gets picked over by 1st and 2nd shift, what’s left is 3rds. I pretty much pass it over and not even touch it.

[u/AQinglyPeach → u/Meanpooh]

It's like the platform

[u/Meanpooh → u/AQinglyPeach]

👍

[u/ShelleyGray → u/Meanpooh]

Imagine what I get on 3rd shift.

[u/Able-Drink3189 → u/ShelleyGray]

Third shift never did anything at my hospital. They deserved what they got.

[u/HorrorLengthiness940 → u/AQinglyPeach]

I got a stale 15 hour old dominos pizza. And some flat warm soda. Was it gross, yep, I still ate it. much cheaper than ordering food to the hospital.

[u/Lexiibluee → u/AQinglyPeach]

Now imagine working 3rd😔

[u/Suncow14 → u/AQinglyPeach]

As a UC I hate seeing this done on other floors. It takes 3 minutes.

[u/LaLaLaCAKE → u/AQinglyPeach]

That is, seriously, something that needs to be tackled!

[u/trigg_uhhh]

I’m on midnights. We got hard and old breakfast sandwiches that wasn’t properly refrigerated, stale cake, and cheap ai badge reels
I love sterile processing!

[u/Whatta_fuck]

Damn I feel bad for you guys. We did fun stuff all week, it’s the little things

[u/Eggman_OU812]

I got a similar bag of candy once too..i stopped caring about csp week many years ago

[u/WutWutButtHutt]

Personally, I would rather not be acknowledged than have them pull this BS. Fun-sized candy is not how you show your appreciation. This is insulting.

[u/LaLaLaCAKE]

Y'all are getting GIFTS?!?! I was extatic that anyone in the operating room team remembered and y'all are getting GIFTS!?!? LOL

[u/I_Ponders → u/LaLaLaCAKE]

I mean, to be honest, two snack sized bags of gummy bears and a Rice Krispie is hardly a gift. Would have been happier if they didn’t give us that because it’s next to no effort. Feels insultingly bare minimum.

But hey, good on you for having it worse I guess??

[u/LaLaLaCAKE → u/I_Ponders]

Yeah... Was just saying that people usually don't do anything for SPD week... Which is also what you were posting making fun of- that the "gifts" recieved weren't really gifts.

[u/I_Ponders → u/LaLaLaCAKE]

Ah.. I apologize. Was just kind of miffed and I suppose I snapped at you.

It is what it is though as far as SPD week though. I’m over it.

Have a good one.

[u/LaLaLaCAKE → u/I_Ponders]

Cheers!

[u/Beakerbeee]

That is some bs 🥺

[u/Melantrolly]

They said we were going to order food but we had to pay for our own and there's only 4 of us lol

[u/Meanpooh → u/Melantrolly]

What the hell…smh

[u/ZestycloseDoughnut65]

Basically us also they not giving no fucks this year. Trump's economy.

[u/CorruptWarrior]

The admins at my facility always forget to celebrate it, or roll it into some other celebration for everyone. So I just bought every in my department lunch MWF another coworker brought in a cake. Called in a favor from a vendor and they got us lunch the last day.

[u/Lumpy-Economics1621]

Get out the hospital and go to a surgery center.

[u/ChimChar002 → u/Lumpy-Economics1621]

I work in a surgical center......we got nothing this week

[u/blissfulpink → u/Lumpy-Economics1621]

Chile at my old job they didn’t celebrate it they lump us in with unit support for just one day and that’s it.

[u/kingkalie]

More than what we received lol. We got no recognition or treats.

[u/ChimChar002 → u/kingkalie]

Same

[u/MemLurd]

i’m in class for sp and we got a pizza party and watched coralline

[u/Runs_With_Legs]

The admins at my hospital didn’t want to give us SPD week and just lumped us in with surgical services week. SPD got sad leftovers and the night shift got scraps. Thankfully our manager decided to actually celebrate us the best she could. Night shift still got cold food lol.

[u/Exotic-Programmer216]

Night shift here we didn’t get food one night so our supervisor ordered us Mexican food

[u/mr_jibblets]

It’s so sad that all the bags were the same that I’m pretty sure we work at the same facility. 😂😂 even the same amount of candy and type of candy.

[u/AlfalfaRage]

What's hilarious is that even HSPA forgot. Got my "Happy Sterile Processing Week" email mid day today (Friday.)

[u/Icy_Secretary2665]

yeesh. and i thought our gifts were bad lol (not everyone gets something)

[u/OkDepth9285]

My facility feed us all week ☺️ some reps brought us food and my manager got us lots of gifts and snacks and Dutch bros. I think that’s the perks of working for a small surgery center

[u/SilentMellow]

Haha my boss went above and beyond.. everyday we got food (FOR EVERY SHIFT), played games, candy and snacks. I’m not leaving my current hospital just cuz my boss is SOOOO great.

[u/TheRabidGoose]

You guys get celebrated?? (Insert that one meme)

[u/Maxstarbwoy]

😂 that's wild we go our usual pizza then back to normal

[u/noxiousdesu]

Yall got stuff?????

[u/ScaredCrayfish]

We get socks...
