To honor nurses’ contributions, Nurses Week is celebrated each year from May 6-12, and National Nurses Day is observed May 6. If you’re a nurse, that means you can get some freebies and discounts on everything ranging from cookies to office supplies.
To take advantage of the deals, make sure you have your ID with you, and you might want to call ahead to make sure the deal is being honored at the location you’re planning to visit.
Check out the following deals available on National Nurses Day and throughout Nurses Week this year:
