Ideas for gift to pediatric nurse

Hello Peds Nurses!

I have a co-worker who is transferring to Peds and I would like to gift her something but I want it to be something that will be useful to her as a Peds Nurse. She accepted a position in a Hematology/Oncology Peds unit. I thought asking the Peds experienced nurses will be helpful. THANK YOU in advance.

Specializes in PICU, Sedation/Radiology, PACU.

If you know her size (and the unit dress code) you could get her a scrub top or two in colorful, cartoon patterns. Kids really prefer their nurse's dressed in characters rather than solids.

Not sure what your budget is, but a pedi sized stethoscope would be helpful.

A pocket sized light up toy that she can use to distract her patients when child life specialists aren't around.

A pediatric drug guide.

There really aren't too many differences between the things adult nurses and peds nurses use for supplies. Something for HER might be more appreciated- such as a gift certificate for a spa day, manicure/pedicure, or massage. Undoubtedly she will encounter stressful, heart-breaking situations and appreciate some time to relax and de-stress.

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PCVICU and peds oncology.
