No, it’s not a tipped position. Not really supposed to accept gifts either (flowers/treats for the team are sometimes given but never supposed to be an individual gift of any real value.)
The other reply was correct. I’ve had to refuse tips and gifts both as a nurse and as a bank teller. I understand why the bank can’t accept gifts, but it was never very clear why I can’t accept gifts as a nurse
Maybe related to the Sunshine Act? The intent of the law is to prevent companies from bribing doctors to use their products or drugs. I have seen companies extend it to other employees to be extra cautious.
Genuinely curious: do you tip your nurses in the US?

That’s silly if that’s the case, it’s not like nurses have any real authority or decision making capacity when it comes to products or drugs.
