A team card collects thank-yous from doctors, administrators, and fellow nurses into one keepsake, which can mean more than a pizza lunch.
How to write it
- Recognise the realities of nursing work.
- Collect messages from across departments.
- Pair words with something practical — a proper break, time off.
