In Detroit, Blumz… by JRDesigns used this image and an inspirational quote on social media to remind customers to thank nurses this week.
Here’s a feel-good plug for your social media that could bring in a few additional sales this week — particularly among health care professionals (and patients who have benefited from top-notch care).
National Nurses Week is May 6 through May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. The weeklong event recognizes the important role nurses play in the health care system. (Within the week, National School Nurse Day is celebrated today, May 11.)
Fun facts to include in your posts, courtesy of the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Nursing:
- Nursing is one of the fastest growing professions in the United States. #nursesweek
- Nurses make up the majority of hospital staff and provide more care than any other staff member. #nursesweek
- Around nine million children visit emergency rooms in the U.S. each year due to injuries. (It’s a really good thing we have nurses, isn’t it?) #nursesweek
- There are more than 5.5 million nurses and nurses aides in the United States … five times the size of the US army! #nursesweek
