Can our nurse registry still pay for the lunches or coffee and donuts during educational in-services to social workers who work at the hospital and in nursing homes?
No. 11.3.4 Every year our nurse registry has a vendor table at the annual social worker recognition luncheon. It is an appreciation luncheon for social workers and case managers who work with seniors. We pay for the use of the table that helps covers the cost of the luncheon. The social workers attending work in a variety of places- hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices and do case management for local community agencies who work with seniors. All professionals that work with seniors are invited. The lunch is free to social workers and case managers. Everyone else that comes has to pay. We give out educational materials and information about our nurse registry along with small items that have our agency name and phone number on them such as pens, pads, coffee cups, and candy. We contribute a raffle prize for the drawings at the end of the luncheon. Is this still allowable? No.
