Don't do those professional kit ones, they sound good but rip you off coming and going. Our SNA sold plasticized assessment/drug cards, the size that fits on a badge. Finding something to sell that isn't just nursing opens up sales to the rest of the student body. Or something service oriented; if you have basic back rubs in fundamentals, you could set up 10 minute chair neck rubs in the cafeteria.

What exactly are you raising funds for? Do you really need a fundraiser for your goals?
This is the time of year where fund-raising for many causes goes crazy and potential donors are flooded with appeals.

You should totally set up a gofundme page.

One of the classics that I've seen used is gift baskets/cakes/special holiday packages that are sold by silent auction. They typically go pretty quick, especially if you can find people who are talented and able to donate something/make something that's desirable on the cheap.

I suggest you check out RightResponse.com > Home. It is first aid kits. You get 50% of whatever is sold. My students just finished and brought in 1700.00 with only 12 students selling in a small town. They were pretty easy to work with too.

Popcornopolis - Flavored popcorn. It sells itself. It's delicious! You get 50% I think. I sold $1500 worth in less than 2weeks for my kid's fundraiser 2 years ago. Of course, nurses always buy!
