We have never been able to repay nurses for all the work they do. For how thankful we'll always be, nothing can repay the sacrifices they make in supporting doctors, consoling families, and being friends to patients. They make doctor visits and hospital stays a little more compassionate. This is all in addition to their actual jobs, which require tremendous skill and years of education, all of which have been put to the ultimate test in light of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
So friends and family of nurses: It's understandable if you're strapped for cash, but maybe these deals might help you show the nurse in your life some appreciation when they need it most. Nurses, today is your day, feel free to act like it's your birthday and claim these gifts.
