If there was ever a good time to show a healthcare worker you know a little extra love, it’s right this instant.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re celebrating National Nurse’s Day on Wednesday, May 6, an annual holiday that recognizes our healthcare heroes’ hard work and kicks off National Nurse’s Week. (That’ll end on May 12 with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, a 19th-century British nurse who’s widely considered the founder of modern nursing.) Above all else, it should serve as a reminder that the people on the frontlines of this global health crisis deserve better pay, better working conditions, and improved staffing levels now and after said crisis ends.
With that in mind, sending flowers to the nurses in our lives is the least we can all do to show them that we care — here’s are two delivery services running promotions right now:
