As Nurses Week approaches, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible dedication and hard work you demonstrate every day. Your unwavering commitment to patient care and compassion truly makes a difference in the lives of so many.

To celebrate Nurses Week and to show our appreciation for all that you do, we've planned a series of exciting events and giveaways just for you!

Here's what we have in store:

1. **Catered Breakfast Burritos**: Kick off Nurses Week on May 9, 2024, with a delicious catered breakfast of mouth-watering burritos for all our amazing nurses.
2. **Daily Gift Basket Giveaways**: Each day from May 6 -12, we'll be giving away two gift baskets—one for the day shift and one for the night shift. These baskets will include beautifully etched glassware (see picture below), a $50 movie theatre gift card for some well-deserved relaxation, and a $5 Starbucks card to fuel your day.
3. **Daily Starbucks Gift Card Giveaways**: We'll also be giving away four $10 Starbucks gift cards each day of Nurses Week—two for the day shift and two for the night shift. Enjoy your favorite coffee or treat on us!
4. **Union Board Decorating Contest**: Did your unit participate in the union board decorating contest? If so, you're in for a chance to win big! Each participating unit will be entered to win a gift of their choice valued at $100. The winners will be decided by a popular vote among the nurses at St. Joe's, so be sure to cast your vote! You have until May 12 to enter, so there’s still time to fill out the form at https://forms.office.com/r/EX1Awyp2Zx.

 We look forward to seeing you during Nurses Week and celebrating all the progress we have made together as a profession and as a union.
