National Nurses Week Freebies and Discounts 2021

National Nurses Week kicks off on Thursday, May 6th. Many businesses are honoring nurses with discounts and freebies for you to take advantage of.

May 6th is National Nurses Day, and it also kicks off National Nurses Week. It's no secret that nursing is an incredibly hectic job. Especially throughout this pandemic. Nurses (and other health care professionals) have been working tirelessly to help fight off this terrible virus on top of other everyday medical issues. That's why it's well deserved that we celebrate National Nurses Day and Week, to honor those who have worked so hard to help us in our time of need.

As a way of saying "Thank you" to nurses, many businesses are offering freebies and other discounts throughout National Nurses Week. Several businesses here in the Evansville area will be a part of a nationwide campaign to honor nurses. Below, you will find a list of businesses offering freebies and discounts for National Nurses Week 2021. (If there are other businesses in the Evansville area offering freebies and discounts to nurses please email me at travis@wkdq.com to be added to the list.)
