Nurses Day 2020: Free Food And Deals From Starbucks, Dunkin' And More

National Nurses Week is observed every year on May 6 through May 12. We're grateful for healthcare professionals always, but this year especially so. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, frontline workers have been risking their lives every day to help care for those who are sick. It is the ultimate sacrifice, and they should be endlessly celebrated for it. As a small token of appreciation, the following chains are offering nurses and other medical personnel freebies and discounts for Nurses Day on May 6 and beyond.
