    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.

        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.
