Every year, healthcare organizations face the same challenge: how to meaningfully recognize nurses during Nurses Week without exceeding already tight budgets.

Are we truly doing enough to support the nurses who care for us? National Nurses Week, celebrated in May, serves as a crucial reminder of the invaluable contributions nurses make daily. However, the reality is that many nurses are overworked, burned out, and facing challenging workplace conditions year-round.

Healthcare workers continue to face sustained pressure long after the peak of the pandemic. According to an advisory from the U.S. Surgeon General, burnout among healthcare workers reached "crisis levels" even before the COVID-19 pandemic, with 35-54% of medical professionals reporting emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and a low sense of personal accomplishment at work.

National Doctors’ Day was first observed on March 30, 1933.  Originally known solely as Doctors’ Day, the holiday was created when Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, decided to set aside a day to honor physicians.  To commemorate the day, greeting cards were mailed and flowers placed on the graves of deceased doctors. Back in 2006 the National Doctors’ Day organization was created when a website dedicated to providing support for the day was launched.  The organization has since branched out to include many specific products and services to assist office managers and hospital administrators with gift ideas for their doctors as well as many free resources to plan and celebrate this national holiday. Each year the organization also releases a new greeting card specifically for honoring physicians.  This year’s card cover reads “For Making Every Day Count…” and the inside reads “Thank You, Happy Doctors’ Day”.  You can order the greeting card for all of your favorite physicians
