Recognizing National Nurses Day

Today — and all this week — we celebrate the men and women who devoted their professional careers to helping others. Nursing is a wildly underappreciated profession but it’s not going completely unrecognized by a large number of retailers. Please see the following list supplied by Thrillist Magazine for some perks and freebies:

Cinnabon

The deal: Nurses with an ID can get a free MiniBon Roll or four-pack of BonBites for National Nurses Week.

MOD Pizza

Enlightened Ice Cream

The deal: Enlightened wants to celebrate the nurses who “make the world a little brighter.” Nurses or friends of nurses can head to this page and send themselves or their nurse friend a coupon for a free pint of ice cream or a free box of ice cream bars. (If you send it to a nurse friend, you’ll get a coupon for yourself as well.)
