2019 Day 6 Nurses Week – More Give Aways
As Nurses Week winds down I do hope that you have taken time to honor YOU! To say thank you to YOU for all that YOU do and to thank those around you who help you so that you can continue to do so.

Due to personal circumstances beyond my control I wasn’t able to procure as many give-aways as I have in the past. Nurses Week should never be about the gifts. No gift is going to make you feel better about your career or like your employer…
