BAYADA Invites Nurses in Any Setting to "Find Your People" During Nurses Week 2026

Renew your spirit with real nurse-to-nurse community, a $250 shopping spree giveaway, and a free online CE course for all US nurses and nursing students.

PHILADELPHIA, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- During National Nurses Week, May 6–12, 2026, BAYADA Home Health Care is celebrating the real lives of nurses, how they build and experience community support, and the essential care they offer, even in a challenging health care landscape.

This year's theme, "Find Your People Who Care Like You Do," invites all nurses and nursing students to visit NursesWeek.com to enter a national giveaway, earn free CEU credit, and hear from real nurses who have found a community where they feel understood, valued, and supported.

Real Nurses. Real Stories of Community.

Whether they work in hospitals, clinics, offices, schools, home health care, and beyond, nurses share one constant: they lean on each other to keep going. Amid complex caseloads, hard conversations, and quiet moments of courage that few people see, nurses deserve a team that "gets it" and shows up for them the way they show up for patients and families.

"Repeatedly, nurses tell us they are sustained by the people beside them: the colleague who checks in after a hard visit, the supervisor who truly listens, the team that shows up when life is complicated," said Nora Triola, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, BAYADA Chief Clinical Officer. "Nurses Week is a time for all of us to pause and express gratitude for the power of nurses who routinely transform and innovate care delivery."

"Our Nurses Week Giveaway is one small way of saying 'thank you' to the nurses who give so much of themselves," said Bryony Winn, BAYADA CEO. "Whether you're just starting out in nursing or have carried years of patients' stories with you, we want you to feel recognized and cared for, too."

Free Online CE Course for Nurses: Care Coordination in Home Health Care

Join the Conversation and "Find Your People"

All week, BAYADA will spotlight real nurses from across the country who have found "their people" in nursing—teams, mentors, and colleagues who understand the emotional weight of their work and support the skill and heart it requires.

Follow along on NursesWeek.com and on Instagram to see reflections of your own experiences: the long nights, the quiet wins, and the relationships that make hard days worthwhile.

"For anyone who has ever wondered if nursing can still feel like a calling, we hope this week offers joy, connection, and a sense of possibility," Winn added.
