I'm sorry, I don't have any ideas of things to write.This guidance remains in effect only to the extent that it is consistent with the court’s order in Ciox Health, LLC v. I think that you are correct, oncology patients who see their nurse on a regular basis gain a lot of strength from their nurse's support and care. OP, I think what you are doing for your patients is really nice! I'm convinced that they appreciate it and that the work you do and effort you put in the personal touch matters a great deal to them. But I see now, that that's not really the topic of this thread. Like most other posters I would not appreciate it if my employer tried to make me write a thank you note. I really just wanted to know if other nurses write notes and to get some ideas of sweet things they may say. I don't want this to turn into a big customer service/patient satisfaction score thing.

Here's what I typically say in my thank you notes: With that said, what is or is not appropriate to say in a thank you note? I work on an oncology unit, so many of our families receive sympathy cards instead. ![]() Do any of you hand write thank you notes? If you do, what do you say? My facility sends pre-printed notes that all of us sign, but for the last month or so I've started sending a relatively generic hand-written note to all of my patients who are discharged home.
