I don't have any questions for you but I do have this:
keep in mind that your Hosp. Dir. will get these letters to keep. So write as if you are speaking to her from the heart.
My director received this award at last years Wave 3 conference, it was so awesome to see her look of suprise and how touched she was. She definitley deserved it. and now she says how much she treasures those letters above most anything else from PC in 11+ years.

WOW, thanks for giving me the insight!reba515 said:
I knew that she was going to hear what I said, but I didn't know that it was going to be given to her.
I have to really sit down in a quiet room and dwell on it.
She really has helped me, but putting it into words is more difficult.
Also, touching every base and not leaving anything out, KWIM?
