The Power of Nurses - National Nurses Week May 6 - 12, 2026

National Nurses Week, celebrated May 6–12, recognizes the work nurses do every day in hospitals, clinics, schools, community settings, and beyond.

To help celebrate, restaurants and businesses across the country are offering free meals, discounts, and small perks for nurses throughout the week. From a quick coffee break to a free lunch after a long shift, these offers are one way communities are showing appreciation for the profession.

Most promotions require a valid nursing ID, and participation may vary by location.

Washington State University acknowledges that its locations statewide are on the homelands of Native peoples, who have lived in this region from time immemorial. Currently, there are 42 tribes, 35 of which are federally recognized that share traditional homelands and waterways in what is now Washington State. Some of these are nations and confederacies that represents multiple tribes and bands. The University expresses its deepest respect for and gratitude towards these original and current caretakers of the region. As an academic community, we acknowledge our responsibility to establish and maintain relationships with these tribes and Native peoples, in support of tribal sovereignty and the inclusion of their voices in teaching, research and programming. Washington State University established the Office of Tribal Relations and Native American Programs to guide us in our relationship with tribes and service to Native American students and communities. We also pledge that these relationships will consist of mutual trust, respect, and reciprocity.
