When is Nurses Week 2026?

May 6–12, 2026. May 6 is National Nurses Day, and May 12 — Florence Nightingale's birthday — is International Nurses Day.

The observance has been held annually since 1954, when it was established to mark the centennial of Nightingale's work.

The 2026 theme is "The Power of Nurses," coinciding with the ANA's 130th anniversary.

How much should a hospital or company spend on Nurses Week gifts?

With over 4.3 million registered nurses in the US and a 16.4% national turnover rate, meaningful recognition during Nurses Week matters more than ever.

According to Giftronaut’s customer insight data, gifts for employees for Nurses Week range between $25 and $100 per person.

The Giftronaut Choice Card works at any budget with no minimum order.

What gifts do nurses actually want for Nurses Week?

Nurses work 12-hour shifts, rotate nights and weekends, and spend most of their day on their feet — which means generic corporate swag misses the mark entirely.

Pizza parties, branded merchandise, and hand sanitizer consistently rank as the least appreciated Nurses Week "gifts."

What nurses actually want is recovery: spa and wellness credits, meal delivery for exhausted nights off, or the freedom to choose something that fits their personal life outside the hospital.

A gift card with real brand choice — across wellness, dining, retail, and streaming — is the one gift that works for every shift, every specialty, and every nurse.

How do I send gift cards to hundreds of nurses at once?

With Giftronaut, bulk sending takes minutes.

Upload a spreadsheet with names and email addresses, set the amount, and every nurse gets their gift card instantly — no shipping address needed.

Giftronaut handles teams of 10 or 10,000 the same way, with no per-transaction fees or service charges. Bulk orders can be processed and delivered on the same day.
