National Nurses Week 2023

National Nurses Week is a time to recognize and celebrate nurses' dedication to caring for their community. It was first recognized in 1954 and has since continued to be looked forward to by nurses.

"The impact you make on healthcare is unparalleled... You bring vast knowledge and expertise to every healthcare setting across a wide range of specialties, serving your patients and communities throughout the continuum of life and care," states the American Nurses Association.

Over the years, many companies have shown their appreciation to nurses by offering discounts and freebies for their products or services. Especially transitioning out of an unprecedented pandemic, these kind gestures are genuinely appreciated.

In addition to National Nurses Week, some corporations even offer year-round discounts, acknowledging that nurses work around the clock to keep their friends and family healthy.

Subway has been known for supporting nurses. During the pandemic, they teamed up with Postmates and delivered thousands of sandwiches to front-line nurses and, this year, have taken it a step further by also including teachers in the free sandwich promotion.

Uniquely, National Nurses Week and National Teachers Appreciation Week have fallen simultaneously in 2023. 

According to the Subway Cares organization, "Franchises, suppliers, and corporate team members around the globe have always been committed to helping the communities in which they live and work. From feeding first responders, assisting in the aftermath of natural disasters, or sponsoring youth sports—Subway has always been there." 

Subway Serves' offer is only open to legal residents of the 50 United States (D.C.) who are nurses and teachers and 21 years of age and older.

Many other promotions and freebies are happening this National Nurses Week, including offers from Dunkin Donuts, Adidas, Hello Fresh, Samsung, and more.
