National Nurses Week is May 6-12 in the U.S. and in honor of hospice nurses everywhere we turn down the serious for a few moments to recognize the profession that is the heart of hospice.  

National nurses week begins on May 6 and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale. This week puts the spotlight on the 4 million nursing professionals that have received the honor of being the most trusted profession for the past 17 years.  

If you're a nurse you can score some free goodies during National Nurses Week.  Go to nurse.org for more information.
