Thank the people who take care of us
National Nurses Week runs May 6 to 12 each year, ending on Florence Nightingale's birthday. Teacher Appreciation Week is usually the first full week of May. Both are good times to thank someone who made a difference, at Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee, the VA or a Muskogee classroom.
For nurses, think about the unit. A nurses' station may be busy, so a compact arrangement or a plant that does not need attention is best. Check with the unit first, since some areas limit flowers.
For teachers, a small bouquet or plant on the desk is a classic. Schools may have rules about deliveries during the day, so check with the front office. A class can also pitch in for one larger arrangement.
