It’s National Nurses Week. Here's a some discounts across San Antonio for nursing professionals

National Nurses Week., which is from May 6 to 12 each year, was first enacted as a single day in 1982 by a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan as “National Recognition Day for Nurses.”

Reagan said in his resolution that “the nurses of this country deserve our gratitude for their personal and professional contributions to the improved health of American citizens.”

The week ends on May 12 because that is the birthday of Florence Nightingale. Nightingale was a British nurse credited with being the founder of modern nursing, according to the National Library of Medicine.

The U.S. Census reported that there are approximately 2.5 million registered nurses, as of 2021.
