Nurses Week is full of freebies and giveaways to spread the love among the largest healthcare profession in the U.S. Here’s a smattering of some of the FREE stuff this week:

• Lippincott’s NursingCenter.com is always on my Nurses Week favorites. I do enjoy a good nursing research article – as evidence by my frequent article reviews – and NursingCenter.com opens up all their journals for free downloads all week long. Sigh. It’s lovely. Seriously, Nursing Students, I know you always need free, full-text nursing journal articles. You should absolutely stock up on these downloads now! Nursing Center.com has more than free articles, though, including an innovation contest and free CE. Hooray!
• Dansko is giving away some prize packs across the U.S…oh, and some shoes right here on Nursetopia!
• Cinnabon is giving away one Classic Roll or Minibon Roll to nurses showing their healthcare badges. Yum!
• Buca di Beppo is offering some delicious Italian food with this coupon. (Thanks, My DFW Mommy!)
• Advance for Nurses has free CE just for Nurses Week.
• New York & Company (love their clothes!) is giving nurses 30% everything through May 8th.
• The American Nurses Association is hosting a free webinar, Innovation in Nursing Practice: Are You Leading the Charge?, in honor of the special week.
• The Gypsy Nurse has quite the list of regional Nurses Week events and discounts. Woohoo for going local!
• Scrubsmag.com has created a nifty Nurse’s Guide to Nurses Week, where nurses can find a bunch of fun articles, giveaways, games, cartoons and eCards, including a “Pin It to Win It” Sweeps on Pinterest featuring Dickies, Cherokee and products from The Code Happy Store (Opening Soon).
