TAMPA, Fla. — Every year since 1993 May 6 through May 12 is dedicated to celebrating nurses and the nursing profession. You can share these freebies, deals and discounts with the nurses in your life to let them know how much they are appreciated.

"National Nurses Week is a time for everyone – individuals, employers, other health care professionals, community leaders, and nurses – to recognize the vast contributions and positive impact of America’s 4 million registered nurses," the American Nurses Association website reads.

The week long recognition always ends on May 12 because it's the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
