Where can NPs and PAs celebrate National Coffee Day today?

It’s Friday, September 29th.  

More importantly, it’s National Coffee Day [1].  

APP Colleagues – did you know…?

• More than 65% of Americans consume coffee at least once a day [2].  
• 85% of coffee drinkers consume three or more cups of coffee per day [3].
• In an analysis of coffee drinking among various occupational workers, healthcare professionals rank at #5 with the most coffee consumption (journalists/media staff, police officers, teachers, and plumbers/trade workers drink more java than we do) [3].  
• BMJ’s study analyzing coffee consumption among hospital physicians revealed orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and general surgeons consume the most coffee during the workday; anesthesiologists consume the least [4].  
• 88% of nurses in the U.S. have at least one cup of coffee per day [5].

Journal Star has a more extensive list [6]:  Journal Star  (I’m a little disappointed in Starbucks minimal participation, but they do have themed gift cards you can purchase for your APP Colleagues to celebrate the occasion)

I’m going to grab another cup now! 

Happy Friday, wonderful colleagues!
