In the new economy, innovation can begin anywhere.  We have always embraced new concepts of innovation and creativity through our design process, but we recently had a new experience when we were contacted by Jessica Muraco, an entrepreneurial Michigan mom with an idea for new healthcare appreciation gifts.

National Nurses Week is coming up May 6-12, and it’s an important time of year to recognize nurses and their contributions. At Baudville, we’re excited to share our exclusive new line of Steth-o-Charms with healthcare professionals for this recognition holiday. 

Steth-o-Charms are a new gift for nurses and healthcare employees. We’ve made our most popular healthcare lapel pin designs into charms that can be worn on stethoscopes! An elastic band  fits each charm securely on the ear tubes of a stethoscope.

Surprise your team during National Nurses Week with Steth-o-Charm gifts. Here are five ways your gifts for nurses can make a big impression.

1. Give a Handwritten Note. Your gift will be even more memorable when you include a personal note for the recipient. Express your appreciation on the back of our free National Nurses Week Print and Posts and give the nurse a smile, too. 

National Doctor’s Day is celebrated annually on March 30 to show appreciation to doctors. The holiday dates back to 1933 when Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of a doctor, decided to honor physicians like her husband. She sent greeting cards to physicans and placed flowers on the graves of doctors who had passed away. Her display of recognition proved to be very powerful! The U.S. Congress established a National Doctor’s Day almost 60 years later!

Fun Fact: The date for National Doctor’s Day is the anniversary of the first use of general anesthetic in surgery.

 

If you forgot that today is National Doctor’s Day, don’t worry! There’s still time to send a free ePraise, or write a handwritten thank you note , like Edora Brown Almond. The simple and genuine expression of appreciation in a note can be mean more than any expensive gift!

May is an important time of year to recognize healthcare staff. National Nurses Week is May 6-12 and National Hospital Week is May 8-12. How will you recognize your healthcare staff? 

Celebrating National Nurses Week and National Hospital Week doesn’t have to be expensive. Here are five free and low cost ways to express your appreciation during these recognition weeks. 

Teachers and nurses are hardworking, dedicated, and compassion professionals whose efforts make a difference in the lives of students, patients, and their families. Unfortunately, this group of people rarely receives the recognition they deserve. 

Our latest episode of Recognition TV focused on recognizing these professionals during Teacher Appreciation Week and National Nurses Week, both take place annually in May. You can watch the entire webisode on Baudville.com or the Baudville Facebook page.
