In honor of National Nurses Week, we are celebrating all the nurses out there who heal patients, touch lives, and selflessly nurture others with their hands and their hearts.

The collection of stories in our book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Nurses: 101 Stories of Appreciation and Wisdom champions nurses' daily contributions, commitments and sacrifices, and depicts the compassion and intelligence and humor needed to meet today's demands.

It's a perfect way to say "Thank You" to a special nurse, or "Welcome" to a new nurse who has joined your team or just graduated from school!

So thank your nurses... not just this week, but every week!

We are so grateful for the healthcare workers out there. And worried about them, too. My own daughter is an OB/GYN, and I worry about her contracting COVID-19 and having to be quarantined from her baby. But all the nurses and doctors and EMTs and other medical professionals out there are working away on the frontlines for the rest of us.

What to do? It’s only a drop in the bucket, but we’ve made our latest book for nurses and other healthcare workers free. Anyone who wants to read Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Nurses: 101 Stories of Appreciation and Wisdom free can do so by downloading the ebook version wherever you like to get your ebooks.

My coauthor for the book LeAnn Thieman, is a nurse who travels the country speaking to thousands of nurses every year. She and I realized this free ebook could help not only nurses, but everyone involved in this coronavirus battle—from the cleaning crews to the orderlies to the nurses, doctors, EMTs, technicians, and other healthcare professionals.

We hope this small gesture shows all healthcare workers how much we appreciate what they are doing for the rest of us. And we know nurses and other healthcare workers may be too busy to read now, but we’d love for them to download the book and read it whenever they can, even if it’s months from now.

The free ebook version of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Nurses is available for free until at least May 3, 2020 on all ebook platforms.

Please share this news with all the healthcare workers you know. And if you can, stay home and stay safe. We’re doing the same while we make more books for you, for the future.
