With National Nurses Week around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to share last minute gift ideas for your superheroes in scrubs.
(Nurses Week is May 6-10, just in case you forgot!)
Last Minute Ideas to Celebrate Nurses Week
With long (and often times trauma-filled) shifts, Nurses definitely deserve a week full of thanks. Here are a few ideas that are appreciated just as much as they show appreciation.
Nurse Appreciation Snack Cart
Station snack carts around employee only, nurse-filled areas. Fill the carts with goodies like healthy treats, fresh fruit, coffee, flavored waters, and other snacks that keep them going throughout the day. Make sure the cart stays fully-stocked – we recommend assigning someone for cart duty. Putting the cart on wheels will also give you the chance to visit different break areas.
Surprise Nurse Shift Meal
Cover one of their meals for the day but providing breakfast in the break rooms. You can get creative by creating a waffle bar or bagel station. Pinterest is full of great brunch ideas to help you plan the perfect shift meal. Be sure to offer this for all shifts – brunch is good any time of the day!
Car Wash Vouchers for Nurse Appreciation Week
Help with their to-do list by handing out car wash vouchers to your nursing staff. It’s an unexpected gift, but something everyone will be grateful for.
Movie Theater Gift Cards
Show appreciation for your nurses with a movie night. Give out gift cards to your local movie theater and don’t for get the popcorn! Attach the gift card to a small of bag popcorn – how cute?!
Handwritten Notes for Nurses
Sending a note of praise is always appreciated, and a handwritten one at that! It shows thoughtfulness and care. Personally hand them out or add to your gift!
eCards for Nurses
Handwriting not your thing? Still send your personal thanks but have it delivered straight to their inbox with an ePraise eCard. They’re free and super cute.
