Obviously, everyone loves discounts. Heck, there’s even a reality show that revolves entirely around people saving money on their shopping by taking couponing to the next level. Still, hunting for discounts can be really exhausting, especially if your day job leaves you completely drained and wanting only to sleep and rest as soon as you get home.

As nurses, it’s understandable that looking for sales and discounts is a little out of reach. You might be too tired to check out the sales in your supermarket, and rush to get what you need so you can rest at home.  However, this doesn’t mean that you will never enjoy some awesome discounts and sales online and in stores.

Actually, there are some retailers in the United States that offer permanent discounts for nurses. Similarly, there are other institutions and facilities that offer special discounts for healthcare professionals, including nurses, for all of their services. However, in such a big world, littered with so many stores and sites, how can you find these special sales and discounts?

Here’s where this article comes in. In this brief guide, we’re going to go ahead and list some of the retailers and services in which you, as a nurse, may receive some worthwhile discounts for your valuable contributions to the country’s public health.

Local gyms, YMCAs, and City Sports Clubs might be working with your hospital.

First off, as a nurse, you might be entitled to receive a stipend from your hospital to pay for a gym membership to maintain your overall physical health. It’s no secret that those who take care of the sick, get sick, and many hospitals are fully aware of this and try to do what they can to improve their employees’ quality of service. Most hospitals have wellness programs for their employees that may include discounts on your local gym. Places like your local YMCA or City Sports Clubs might also participate in this discount program. So, always try to talk with your  local hospital to see if you’re eligible to receive any of these bonuses.

Need a new outfit? Stop at New York & Company for your 15% discount.

Nurses, like everybody else, also have the right to splurge on their favorite clothing and apparel.

Luckily, there are several retailers that offer discounts to nurses and other healthcare workers. New York & Company, for example, has a permanent 15% discount on all their products for firefighters, nurses, EMTs, police officers, and military personnel, as well as their spouses. Sleep Number Beds is another retailer that gives a  whopping 35% discount on all their mattresses for healthcare workers. The same applies to certain cellphone service providers, such as T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon, which offer special discounts on their products and plans for healthcare workers. The next time you top off the credit for your prepaid plan, be sure to ask about your eligibility to receive a discount for your status as a healthcare worker. Odds are that you will be able to save at least 15 to 25 percent on your monthly plan.

What about vacation? There are a few discounts at Six Flags and even Disney World hotels.

For nurses and other professionals that spend a good chunk of their day in the workplace, it’s very important that they have time to unwind during their annual vacations. Amusement parks, concerts, and other events have discounts for nurses as well as other healthcare workers. As a nurse, you might be eligible to receive a significant discount at any Six Flags Theme Park, as well as in certain Disney World hotels. If you’re looking to enjoy a vacation in any of these parks, feel free to ask the ticketer if you can receive a discount because of your nursing status. It wouldn’t hurt.

You can even have a discount on insurance.

With all the risks that you’re exposed to on a daily basis, it’s only logical that you’d want to have an insurance policy on top of the insurance offered by your hospital. Many insurance companies offer premium prices to healthcare workers for their contributions to the country. They may also offer special premium packages for your car insurance.

Last, but not least, the most elusive sales and discounts are the ones that are not permanent in nature. Some shops that don’t host permanent discounts may offer special one-time prices for nurses and healthcare workers. In order to keep on top of the latest sales and offers, feel free to check out websites like Corporate Shopping to look up the most recent discounts for nurses.

Regardless of where you go to do your shopping, always ask to see if there are any discounts for nurses. You may feel tired after a long day of work, but that doesn’t mean you show it on your face for everyone to see. Don’t be afraid to brag a little about your services to see if you can get a discount.
