On the Nursing Show podcast this week, I asked you to tell me what you are doing to celebrate National Nurses Week. The American Nurses Association has a few suggestions on their site. Most of their suggestions are more institutional in nature, though.
Every nurse, RN, LPN, whatever your training, should take some time to personally celebrate Nurses Week. So, in that vein, I will include some suggestions over the next few days.
Today’s Nurses Week celebration idea is — contact an old friend from Nursing School.
For some of us keeping in touch with friends is difficult. Whether you’ve been out of nursing school for one year or twenty, there is probably someone who you haven’t talked to in a while.
This week, celebrate the week in your honor by calling, emailing or facebooking a long lost nursing school buddy. Renew your friendship and reminisce about old times.
Take some time for you, because you deserve it!

I celebtated nurses’week in two ways.
#1, I sent in a Dunkin’ D’s gift card to my daughter’s school nurse with a card thanking her for her great work.
#2, I graduated nursing school yesterday!!!
