Happy Nurses Week 2013! Have a pizza on us!

By Peter Frouman · May 6, 2013 Facebook LinkedIn Email

National Nurses Week begins on May 6th and ends on May 12th (the birth day of the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale). Across the nation, communities will gather to celebrate and recognize the accomplishments, hard work, dedication and courage of millions of nurses.

Inspired by a story we read about ER departments from Boston ordering pizza for nurses in West, Texas, we decided we were going to start a new tradition of free pizza for nurses during Nurses Week! We are going to order pizza for nurses in 14 cities across the US during Nurses Week. All you have to do is like us on Facebook or Follow us on Twitter to qualify. We will be giving away a pizza on each account (FB and Twitter) daily so following us on both is the best way to get free pizza for all your coworkers!

The Nurses Week Photo Contest!

We’ve received many excellent photos of nurses across the U.S. and would love to see some photos of you celebrating Nurses Week.

As you celebrate Nurses Week, don’t forget to bring your camera and take pictures to submit to the National Nurses Week photo contest and if you have any photos from past Nurses Week events we would love to see those as well. The National Nurses Week photo contest will run from now until May 24th and we will be awarding a fabulous mystery prize to the winners!

From our archive: this post is from May 2013, and the contest it describes has ended. We still run a nurse photo contest — see the current one and enter here.

I am the Director of Nursing @ this adult day health center. We are a non-profit org and serve about 50 participants per day. My staff includes 3 R,N,’s and approximately 10 C.N.A.’s. They are all wonderful people with hearts of gold. I would love to recognize them with a nice pizza lunch. Our center is located in Laguna Woods, Ca. Thank you
