Without the help and love I received from my nurses, I would definitely not have been improving as much or have the motivation to work harder.
I was a patient on your floor for a couple of weeks. I am not sure if any of you remember me, but I definitely remember all of you. Hopefully, you all are doing well and had a good summer. I wanted to write a letter and thank all of you for the hard work and dedication you put into your patients. From my experience, I and my parents were very pleased with the excellent care we received. Nurses don’t get enough appreciation for the work they do. I hope all of you know that you are 100% appreciated by my family and many others. You all risk your lives and stay up at crazy hours to help strangers, that is remarkable! You all save and improve lives every day like it is no big deal.

Without the help and love I received from my nurses, I would definitely not have been improving as much or have the motivation to work harder. Thank you so much for your service and compassion for others, it is very inspiring. I felt very loved and never alone during my stay at Levine Children’s Hospital. Please never forget how amazing all of you are every day, even on your days off from work. I will never forget how special I felt in the hospital and all of the interesting conversations we had. Thanks for taking the time to read this letter. I really appreciate it. Also, make sure to get some sleep that is very important. Have a great day (or night, sorry night shift people!)
