Nursing That Moves the World: Nurses Week Discounts & Celebrating International Nurses Day

International Nurses Day is almost here! Celebrated every year on May 12, Florence Nightingale's birthday, International Nurses Day honors the impact of nurses across healthcare systems and communities.

Leading up to this day is National Nurses Week in the U.S., held from May 6 through May 12. It is a time dedicated to recognizing the skill, compassion, and resilience nurses bring to their patients every day. Plus, clinicians can take advantage of a number of Nurses Week discounts.

For those pursuing an international nursing career, especially nurses preparing to move to the United States, this week represents both recognition and opportunity. At WorldWide HealthStaff Solutions (WWHS), we are proud to support international nurses taking the next step in their journey.

Nurses Week Discounts: What to Expect

During Nurses Week 2026, many U.S.-based brands will offer special promotions and freebies to show appreciation for nurses.  These Nurses Week Discounts often include restaurants, retail brands, and services. While many offers are location-based, they can become part of your experience once you begin working in the United States.

Most discounts require verification through a work ID or platforms like ID.me or SheerID, and availability may vary by location.  For international nurses planning their transition, these offers are something to look forward to as you begin your new role and build your life in the U.S. healthcare system.
