There are a lot of wacky and very specific holidays in the world. For example, there’s Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day (February 11), World Sauntering Day (June 19), Lost Sock Memorial Day (May 9), and Lumpy Rug Day (May 3) — just to name a few choice day designations.

So don’t you think it’s about time there was a Travel Nurses Day?! Medical Solutions agrees that travel nurses deserve their own day and has appointed October 11 as Travel Nurses Day. The pet friendly travel nurse staffing company will celebrate the first annual Travel Nurses Day this Friday, October 11, 2013.

In order to get maximum fun out of this new holiday, they will not only honor all Travel Nurses on the 11th, but also host a week of contests and giveaways throughout the week leading up to the big day.

Visit TravelNursesDay.com so that you can sign up for email updates on this year’s inaugural Travel Nurses Day and get in on all the fun, games, giveaways, and prizes.

So, this new holiday of Travel Nurses Day got me wondering: What’s the weirdest, wackiest, strangest, or most awesome holiday you have ever heard of and/or celebrated? As a Star Wars fan, I think mine is May the Fourth
