National Nurses Week 2021: 40 Discounts, Deals and Freebies for Nurse Appreciation Week

National Nurses Week 2021 kicks off on Thursday, May 6, which also happens to be National Nurses Day! Nursing is an incredibly stressful career, which is why it’s so important to thank those nurses in our community for their time and sacrifices. And during these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to show our appreciation for the nurses and healthcare workers who are on the frontline of the global COVID-19 pandemic taking care of others.
For years, companies have been offering special Nurses Week freebies, discounts and deals to celebrate the hard work and dedication of nurses and other healthcare workers. And 2021 is no different. We searched the internet for some of the best deals and giveaways being offered for nursing professionals this year and came up with this list of 40 discounts and freebies in honor of National Nurses Week 2021 and National Nurses Day!
When is Nurses Week 2021?
National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6 and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale. Within the week, there are also days designated to certain nurses, like National Student Nurses Day on May 8, National International Nurses Day on May 12, and National School Nurses Day, which is celebrated the Wednesday of Nurses Week. (This year, that falls on May 12.)
