“The cards arrived quickly and were very nice. I love that I could order a card specifically for the upcoming birth of my grandson that says to my son and daughter-in-law What store would offer a card like that??? Thank you.”
Have you ever sent a nurse a thank you card after a stay in a hospital? Many people do because they understand the vital help that nurses provide when they are in need of medical care. But, what can a hospital or care center management team do to show their appreciation? And, for that matter, what can those that are in constant contact and care of a nurse do to show similar appreciation? Is there a special occasion on which Nurses Day Cards can be sent? Yes, there is.
Nurses Day is celebrated on May 6, and it commences National Nurses Week which always ends on May 12th, the birthday of the legendary Florence Nightingale. The holiday was spawned from an idea originating from the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1953. However, it did not become a national holiday until 1982 when President Reagan signed it into law.
What makes Nurses Day so unique is that it is not only intended to celebrate the work nurses perform, but it is also designed to raise awareness about serious medical and health issues the public faces. As such, this holiday could be considered the most "selfless" of holidays. For this reason alone, it is a nice gesture to send Nurses Day Cards to the nurses you know during this holiday. Greeting Card Universe is the perfect source for Nurses Day Cards as it maintains an excellent selection. The cards are upbeat and positive and truly do promote a sense of thanks to the nurse that is contributing to your own sense of health and well-being. Special cards such as those for male nurses or retired nurses are also available.
