Happy Nurses Week! – Enjoy the Perks!

It’s Nurses Week! As a thank you for your service, companies have announced exclusive freebies and discounts as COVID-19 began ramping up throughout the country. Now, even more retailers are stepping up to the plate with sizable discounts for healthcare workers during National Nurses Week, May 6 through May 12. Most discounts extend to everyone who works in the hospital — nurses or otherwise — and some even apply to military members, teachers, police officers, and firemen.

We’ve gathered a list of retailers, specializing in everything from shoes to coffee, currently offering deals and discounts for healthcare workers during National Nurses Week. It’s the least we can do, especially after everything you’ve done for us.

To ensure that the deals are going into the right hands, all online orders require verification through a service like ID.me or SheerID.
