What Nurses Really Want For Nurses Week This Year

Now more than ever, it’s a great time to inspire, thank, celebrate, and recognize your nursing staff for all the fantastic efforts and heroic actions they’ve displayed over the past year. National Nurses Week is May 6th – May 12th, 2023, and it’s an ideal time to show your gratitude with thoughtful and useful appreciation gifts. If you work in a hospital, nursing facility, or doctor’s office, there are many ways to reward teamwork, loyalty, and commitment to their patients. Rewarding your team with branded gifts of appreciation improves team morale and helps showcase your healthcare brand to the community. 

Research across the industry shows that branded promotional items are usually kept for months, if not years, after being given to someone. This reason alone makes them a great gift idea that will gain thousands of impressions day-in and day-out, and act as a positive reminder that your healthcare facility cares about their staff and community.
