Thank you, nurses.
Every day, Dr. Johnny's buys coffees for nurses across Canada — small breaks in the middle of long shifts.
This week is Nurses Week. We wanted to do something more public.
So we built this wall. A place to say thank you, out loud.

Gratitude, From Around the Country
Real notes from real people. Updated all week.
To: Nurse Rachel on the maternity ward
"I cried in your arms at 3am because I couldn’t get my baby to latch and I felt like a failure. You told me I was doing great, made me toast, and showed me a trick that actually worked. I think about you often. My daughter is two now. We’re both okay because of you."
To: Nurse Mike
"You told me my cast could be a superhero shield and now everyone at school signs it. You are the coolest nurse and I drew you a picture. It’s a dinosaur. You can keep it."
To: Whoever was on the night shift Tuesday
"You brought me an extra warm blanket without me even asking. Small thing. Huge thing. Thank you."
To: Nurse Patricia
"There are no words for what you did for our mom in her final weeks. You sang to her. You brushed her hair. You stayed past your shift more times than we can count. You made the worst chapter of our lives bearable, and we will carry your kindness with us forever. Thank you, Patricia. From the bottom of our hearts."
To: Jenna in the ER
"You stitched up my forehead at 2am after I lost a fight with a kitchen cupboard. You also didn’t ask how it happened, which I appreciated. Legend."
To: Sandra
"You held my hand when I was scared to get the IV in. I’m 67 years old and still afraid of needles — and you didn’t laugh at me, not once. You just said, “We’ll do it together.” Thank you for treating me like a person, not a patient."
To: Janice
"Thank you for taking such good care of my mom. You were so attentive and kind and helped make a scary time less scary."
To: Nik
"I don’t know a better dude than Nik. He cares when he’s on the clock and when he’s off. Through some of the hardest, darkest months of my life I only had one person who cared to come alongside me – Nik – thanks brother. I’ll be forever grateful for you."
To: Sarah P.
"I can’t thank my nurse Sarah enough for everything she did. She has this amazing way of making a scary hospital room feel safe. She was always there with a smile, a kind word, and a steady hand when I needed it most. Sarah, you’re a total lifesaver—literally!"
