CJ and Jenn’s Everything you Need to Know for Wednesday, May 6

Good morning Acadiana. National Nurses Week starts today. To all nurses...thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you do. What on Earth would the human race do without nurses? The work to become a nurse is grueling and the years of work that follow are rewarding but just as tough. KTDY salutes nurses today and every day.

If you know of a nurse who deserves a sweet treat, we've teamed up with Nothing Bundt Cakes to deliver 'essential' workers cake every Friday. To nominate a nurse for a free cake click here.
