Motivational Message

Hey yall!

So Christmas time is drawing near, and I'm doing something special for the patients. I got a bunch of mini stalkings and stuffed them with Christmas candy. I also got a box of cards. There is enough for each patient on the unit to get a stuffed stalking and a card come Christmas morning. I just figure, everyone should have a Christmas gift, kid or not. (My hospital is doing things for the kids units, but not adults) I'm unsure of what to write on the cards. I want to write the same thing in each card (no personalized messages because my patients tend to have fixation/boundary issues). Any ideas of what could be universally caring/inspiring?

My patient population is 18-63yr/o males and females on a locked acute crisis stabilization unit. The majority of them are schizophrenic/schizoaffective, bipolar, or psychotic d/o and suicidal. It can't be too profound, because I want them to be able to understand it. I can't come up with a darn thing!

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

    Sounds like a nice idea, would this just be from you or from the other staff too? Be a little careful with that, some patients might misunderstand. It might be better if it were "from the Staff" - just a thought. As to the message, heartfelt, seasonal and brief. e.g. Best wishes for a happy and peaceful holiday and a happy new year - or such... You sound like a nice and concerned nurse. Have a merry christmas and happy holiday yourself!
