Celebrate Medicine’s Unsung Heroes On Nurse’s Day
Q: How many of our friends and family know that May 6th is National Nurses Day, and May 6th-May 12th is National Nurses Week?
A: Not enough!
Nurses are on the front lines, but are often underappreciated and overlooked, so help spread the word!
Florence Nightingale was born on May 12th, so the tradition began in 1965 as a way to celebrate her work and the work of nurses throughout the United States
Give a Nurse Day card, surprise a nurse with a bouquet of flowers or a surprise lunch. Treat your favorite nurse to some fun, comfortable medical scrubs. Is the nurse a mother? Get the kids involved to make crafts or her favorite sweet treats! Is the nurse male? Consider buying a bottle of his favorite cologne, take him to his favorite restaurant, or surprise him with versatile Cherokee scrubs.
No matter what you do, just be sure that May 6th is a day to be remembered for that nurse in your life!
