Here’s where you can score freebies, deals for National Nurses Week in North Texas
From hospital rooms to schools and clinics, nurses work long shifts, juggle heavy workloads and still manage to care with heart.
That’s why National Nurses Week, happening May 6 through May 12, exists: to celebrate their impact and thank them for everything they do.
The week kicks off with National Nurses Day on May 6 and wraps on May 12, which also happens to be Florence Nightingale’s birthday (AKA the pioneer of modern nursing).
To mark the occasion, restaurants, brands and businesses across the country are rolling out freebies and deals to show their appreciation.
Here’s a breakdown of the best offers happening this week.
Where to eat during National Nurses Week
Applebee’s
Now through May 10, select Applebee’s locations are offering nurses (and teachers) a free appetizer with the purchase of an entrée. Bring your ID and check with your local spot to make sure they’re in on the deal.
Chipotle
Chipotle is back with its free burrito giveaway, but this year it’s a little different. Nurses (and teachers) can register online and verify their profession through ID.me within 48 hours.
If selected, you’ll get a free entrée e-card sent out starting the week of May 13.
Cinnabon
As a sweet thank you, participating Cinnabon locations are offering free Classic Rolls or Minibons to nurses during the week. Just show your medical ID to redeem, with no purchase necessary (but availability can vary by store).

Nurses can get 10% off their total check at Outback just by showing their medical ID. No expiration date on this one—it’s available year-round, not just during Nurses Week.
