I think Nurses Week is the start of May.
Depends on the hospital. Usually a "tea". Some hand everybody roses, others give pins and pens. Sometimes there are lunch time lectures.
It really only benefits day shift as evenings can be too busy to get away (1900-2000hrs), and poor nights usually gets a tray of squares and sandwiches left for them...
Nurses Week this year is May 9-13. In our hospital we have events going on everyday. Each day we have a 'lunch and learn' session with lunch provided. Monday is the kick off with coffee/snacks on each shift, Wednesday evening is a big banquet together with 2 other local hospitals, two days during the week popcorn, chocolat, coffee with be provided for each shift, finally on Friday we have a big BBQ for all staff at lunch and buffet supper for other shifts. Lots of fun!

Do the hospitals here in Canada do anything to recognize nurses? I haven't seen or heard of anything at the hospital.
