American Nurses Association (ANA)’s National Nurses Week is celebrated each year from May 6th through May 12th.
Nurses Week is an opportunity to celebrate the healthcare professionals in your life. Nurses have always been at the frontline of patient care and deserve above and beyond recognition. Nurses Week is the perfect opportunity to go above and beyond to appreciate the nurses around you.
Here are 8 ideas to show appreciation for nurses during Nurses Week:
A luncheon will allow your nurses a much-deserved break and gives an opportunity to celebrate and bond as a team.
Create a relaxation or pamper kit to send to your coworkers as a gift. This kit can include:
Handwritten notes are often a thing of the past, which makes them even more special. Receiving a physical note from someone is an excellent way to show them you care.
Post some of the best patient comment card or survey responses on a bulletin board or in your company newsletter. This not only recognizes your nurses for their work, but also sets the tone for a high standard of care within your practice.
Send an email to all nurses thanking you them for their dedication. Within this email will be a link for your staff to choose a pre-selected gift to make their week even more memorable and full of appreciation.
Send customized eCards to your nurses expressing your gratitude. eCards can be given without or with a point value attached to redeem for rewards, so it makes it for an easy, and memorable gesture.
Coffee is the perfect pick-me-up. Show appreciation by starting your coworkers shift with an extra dose of caffeine.
Saying thank you is one of the easiest ways to show appreciation during Nurses Week.

While traditional years of service awards still play an important role in any recognition strategy, service awards have begun to be part of a more comprehensive points-based platform.
What this means is that healthcare facilities have realized that a once a year service award acknowledgment or a gold lapel pin is no longer enough.
By building a holistic recognition strategy that aligns with your facilities mission and values, you are able to create a culture of recognition and engagement throughout your organization. National Nurses Week activities and awareness are crucial to achieving a comprehensive approach to employee recognition.
