Florence Nightingale paved the way for the nursing profession in the mid 1800s.  She began the work that would create a legacy of professionals who comfort and heal. It is tough to find an individual in our modern world who has not benefited from the skill and compassion of a nurse.

[National Nurses Week](https://www.terryberry.com/blog/national-nurses-week-appreciation-ideas-to-get-started/) is right around the corner and it’s a fitting opportunity for all of us to say thanks to the nurses who have made a difference.  
 There are many recognition gifts and programs that are fitting ways to demonstrate nurse appreciation.  A [recognition pin](https://www.terryberry.com/products/awards/lapel-pins,-charms,-tie-tacs.aspx) with the hospital or practice’s logo is a classic choice.  Health care organizations who implement Terryberry’s [recognition collection](https://www.terryberry.com/products/awards/recognition-collection.aspx) can let their nurses select a gift of their choice from popular items.  
 Terryberry has been honored to work with hundreds of** hospitals and physician practices** throughout North America and Europe to help health care organizations [give their nurses recognition](https://www.terryberry.com/blog/national-nurses-week-appreciation-ideas-to-get-started/) they richly deserve.
