This year, more than any other in our lifetimes, nurses deserve your appreciation and support. And since the period from Wednesday, May 6 to Tuesday, May 12 is National Nurses Week, it's as good a reminder as any to keep those providers on the frontlines top of mind. Nurses often provide the most hands-on care to patients and are therefore among the most vulnerable essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

While free gifts and discounts are certainly not a sufficient replacement for ample PPE, hazard pay, and mental health services, they are small ways businesses can show their appreciation. 

Here are just some of the National Nurses Week freebies you can take advantage of if you work in nursing and other healthcare professions.
