Download, print, handwrite your message on the back, and give this card to your favorite triple-’threat’ nurse – perhaps during Nurses Week, which is May 6 – 12.

“You rock!” is a favorite phrase of mine. It’s my kudos sentence of choice, and it’s usually accompanied by a high five, a dance of some sort, or lots of finger pointing. It’s only natural to incorporate it into a postcard that’s perfect for Nurses Week or any other celebratory moment. Download it, print it, give it!

It just makes me smile. I can think of many nurses I want to give this postcard-type card to. You can download, print, and give it to the nurses in your life, too. Be sure to write your personal-hero sentiments on the reverse!

I really love the idea of personalizing items in myriad ways. These two cards – outlined in either navy blue or hot pink – contain the same word search. You can leave the word search blank, or you can further personalize the card, highlighting or circling the specific words you want to emphasize.
All of the “searchable” words in the puzzle are: advocate, amazing, caring, diligent, fantastic, humble, intelligent, kind, knowledgeable, licensed, nurse, registered, rocking, stellar, vocational. Have fun!
You can download the navy blue card here.

You can download the hot pink card here.

Nurses Week is May 6-12. I’m certain you know a nurse (likely a lot of ‘em), and you need to start planning now if you want to let each of them know how important they are to you or to your organization.

I plan to do my part to help you acknowledge and honor the nurses around you while ensuring you don’t break the bank. I’ll publish free, printable cards until Nurses Week, so you can be sure to find one or a few cards to celebrate the nurses in your life.
Most of the cards will be broad enough to use throughout the year, as well. Bonus!

I love sending notes to people I work with. They really do make work better. Just sayin’ it like it is! There’s probably someone around you that makes work better, too. Download and print this puppy out and let him or her know!

I enjoy cards. Can you tell? I get giddy when I raid the Target clearance bin and walk away with designer cards for next to nothing. What’s better? Making the exact card I want for zero dollars. Yep. It feels pretty good. A stack of blank cards makes me smile because I know they will eventually make someone else smile.
Make someone else’s day today. This Great Argyle Day card (yes, I just named the card) is yours to download and print. As it says…Have a great day!

In honor of nursing graduations everywhere and the thousands of people who are preparing for the NCLEX…here’s a note of encouragement for you or others. Feel free to download, print, and encourage at random intentionally.
The NCLEX is tough. And stressful. It’s a “make-it-or-break-it” kind of moment, and the past two to four years (or more!) have led to the single, stress-inducing, career-predicting test. A note of encouragement just might brighten a future nurse’s day, so be sure to include your own hand-written cheers on the inside!

So many of my friends have had birthdays recently. I’ve been pondering a certain thought, so I decided to turn it into a card. You can download it to print and share, as well.
Enjoy your privilege, and celebrate!
