Shoutout to all the amazing nurses out there! We owe them every day, but National Nurses Week and National Nurses Day gives us a chance to really show our appreciation. During this once-a-year time of recognition, these essential healthcare heroes get extra love with discounts, freebies, and special healthcare worker deals.
While there are lots of year-round discounts for nurses, the best perks happen from May 6 - 12, with deals like 25% off Crocs, free menu items at FGI Fridays, and a BOGO deal at Chicken Salad Chick. If you’re a nurse, just make sure to show your work ID to get in on the savings.
For many of the deals, you'll need to verify your eligibility through third-party sites like SheerID and ID.me.

National Nurses Week is an annual event when businesses give nurses freebies and deals.
National Nurses Week starts on National Nurses Day, May 6, and ends on May 12, which is the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
During National Nurses Week, hospitals, healthcare facilities, and communities honor nurses with events, awards, and other acts of appreciation. Many businesses also participate by offering discounts, specials, and freebies exclusively for nurses.
National Nurses Day is Tuesday, May 6, 2025, which is the start of National Nurses Week.
National Nurses Day is always on May 6 — whatever day of the week it falls on. And Nurses Day is always the beginning of National Nurses Week, which takes place over the following week, ending on Monday, May 12, 2025.
