What to write
Each of these fits on the back of the card. Borrow one, or paste it into the writing assistant and make it yours.
- To the night shift on 4 West: you took care of my mom like she was yours. Thank you for the extra blanket, the honesty, and the way you explained everything twice. The Nguyen family.
- Maria, you were the calm in the worst week of our lives. Thank you for holding it together so we could fall apart a little. We're home and he's doing well.

- Thank you for treating me like a person and not a chart. I was scared, and you noticed. I won't forget it.
- Our daughter is home and thriving. Thank you to every nurse in the NICU who held her when we couldn't. This photo is for the break room.

Why a real card
- Nurses hear complaints all day. A card addressed to the unit gets pinned on the board in the break room and stays there for months.
- A photo of the patient home and well is the best possible front of the card. Nurses rarely get to see what happened after discharge.
- You can send it to the hospital with the unit name and floor. No home address needed.

Questions
How do I address a card to a nurse at a hospital?
First line: the nurse's name, or 'Nursing staff, 4 West' for the whole unit. Then the hospital's mailing address. Hospital mailrooms route unit mail daily.
Can I thank the whole unit?
Yes. Address it to the unit and write to all of them. A photo of the patient doing well is the thing they'll pass around.
Is there anything I shouldn't include?
Keep medical details light; the nurse knows them. Focus on what they did and how it felt. Avoid including other patients' names.
