National Nurses Week begins on May 6th and runs through May 12th, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Coca-Cola is marking the event with a special Nurses Campaign sweepstakes. The lucky winner scores a weekend spa getaway for two in California, including airfare and accommodations. If you know a hard working nurse, this is the sweepstakes he or she deserves to win!
Other websites are also recognizing National Nurses Week by running their own sweepstakes. Fibers.com is giving away an iPad, iPods, gift certificates and iTunes. To win this one, you need to submit your t-shirt design celebrating nurses, so this is an excellent opportunity for the creative folks among us to win a prize.
Campaign For Nursing doesn't need a special day to recognize nurses – they give away free items all the time. If you're a professional looking for promotional material, or want to praise the nurse in your life with a “Thank a Nurse” magnet, this website has the free items you're looking for. Another site that offers ongoing sweepstakes for nurses is Nurse Village. Once a month, there's an opportunity to enter for your chance to win a prize. The prizes varu, but often include 0 gift cards.
If you have a Facebook account, check out the sweepstakes that Nursing Essentials is running. The prize is a Nurse Minnie wristwatch with a regulation white band. Minnie is also wearing white and will keep you smiling during those long hours on the job.
To any nurses reading this – thank you, and Happy National Nurses Week! Here's hoping you win one of the special nurses sweepstakes for an even more amazing week.
