Because owners pay the bills???? 

So in my department as a peer I might recognize another nurse who stayed past the end of the shift to help me with a difficult patient admission. As a manager I might recognize a member of my staff who initiated a process or provided a good suggestion to improve patient safety on the unit. 

Vivian, the issue for me is not Peer Praise. My concerns deal with the implementation.

If words mean anything, PEER Praise should not be a boss praising a worker; it should surely not be a worker praising a boss. You praising a fellow nurse is surely peer praise, and well deserved as you describe it. 

Finally, with regard to OPA's HR department, some may find it troubling to read the following publicly written words associated with that department:

"everything that comes out of trumps mouth is a lie, he is a narcissistic, disgusting sub human sicko. I would not trust him to walk my dog let alone with the nuclear code. He is an ugly, unstable unfit orange pig in a suit."

Regardless of party or politics, such statements should give no one a warm and comfy feeling about OPA's HR department.

Not to mention this snippet:

"LINCOLN...what an overrated president. Hard to believe he was a Republican..."
