Vendor Sponsors – if it isn’t against company policy or breaking any Stark or Sunshine Laws, ask your vendors if they are comfortable sponsoring the shirts.

Be proud of your profession and buy something sturdy that will last. Don’t go too skimpy on the quality to save money. An average annual EA fund allots for $10-20 per employee.

Employee Appreciation Fund – if you company has a fund set aside, by all means do a shirt.

There are also hoodies, short sleeve shirts, and nice, professional-looking jackets. I have paid as high as $13 in past but that was long sleeve and pretty thick. The cost is typically anywhere from $7 per shirt and up. I still have my rad tech week shirt from 2005. Maybe it’s because these things are seen for years and years. This is by far one of my favorite pieces of swag to give away each year.

Most prevalent because, as we all know, nurses get everything they want. The most prevalent, of course, is Nurses Week. When you work in healthcare you see all the different professions that promote their own career field. Celebration Week for Everyone! Hand out cake in your cafeteria to raise awareness of our awesomeness Originally in July, it was moved to the week in November that correlates with the invention of the xray by Wilhelm Roentgen, Nov 8, 1895. It was officially started by the ASRT back in 1979 and continues through the current day. 8th to commemorate the discovery of the x-ray by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Nov. The celebration takes place each year during the week that includes Nov. National Radiologic Technology Week is celebrated annually to recognize the vital work of rad techs across the nation.
