Celebrating Nurses’ Monumental Impact
There is a myriad of ways to participate in National Nurses Week, which is celebrated May 6-12, from honoring your staff RNs with a gift or event to taking steps to let...
I am the founder of Littlethanks (littlethanks.ca), a line of scrub-sized thank-you cards for nurses to let their fellow nurses know how much they appreciate and respect them.

Littlethanks cards are sold on Etsy (osmag.net/Yn7XSf) in packs of 18 — 15 pre-written heartfelt and humorous messages, and 3 write-your-own notes — for $5, plus shipping from Canada. I've sold around 2,000 packs, and receive daily emails about their impact from nurses all over North America.
