I think its a great idea to get something for your close friends :)
Good Pens, a pair of bandage sissors, etc
Depending on what you want to spend you can come up with some great ideas.
Another idea would be to get an organizer/planner, or maybe a clipboard with caculator for while at work/clinical. (i love the ones that open up so you can hold things in them)
Good luck :) I tried to think of a few things..but i think my brain is mush after work tonight!
YOu can come up with some really cute nursing related items on ebay. Just search "nurse" or "nursing". For my friend's recent birthday I picked up a great black tote embroidered with "RN here to help" and an adorable Nurse purse/bag charm keychain. There are lots of stuff like that. I think the keychains are the best because they are really "in" right now and so cute. The silver bags actually open up. I bought one for myself that has a tiny chart charm attached. You could get these for less than $10.
Cookies are a great idea... I start holiday baking early and by the end of Dec, I usually have tons of cookies in the freezer. *(Bake them, and put them in the freezer as soon as they cool, and they stay super fresh!)
I've been doing cookies & home baked goodies for years ~ and people really look forward to it. Often times I stick a homemade CD in there too ... usually I package it up pretty well, and that makes all the difference...
Since it's all for fellow nsg students, it'd be cool to theme it up! You can tie some ribbons & seal it up with a pair of hemostats or band-aids? You've got plenty of time to get started!

I have a couple of good friends in school that I would like to buy a little something for during Christmas...
What would students want? I want to get something "nurse" related, and maybe a little gift bag of cookies or something else..
What do you all think? Any suggestions?
