Please Help a Student out with an Assignment - This is actually sort of fun :)

Hi everyone, :)

Before everyone rolls their eyes and thinks, "another nursing student who wandered out of the students forum to get our help" lol, I'll just say that all I would like is the answer to a simple question: If I were a business, sending out random junk mailish (lets be honest lol) letters, about a product or service specifically aimed at nurses, what product or service would you actually be interested in, as a nurse. What product or service would make you consider doing something other than throwing the sales pitch letter away? It has to be a product or service targeted towards you being a nurse. So could it be something as cliche, but no doubt necessary, like comfortable shoes, or it could be something, me as a little pre-nursing student has yet to comprehend, but would really help alot of nurses out there. :nurse: I'd love to hear your thoughts!!!! :D

In case your wondering about the reason for this, I'm a pre-nursing student, who starts Nursing School this fall, and I am in a required Technical Writing class. My assignment is to write a sales letter for a product/service, pertaining to my future career. A sales letter is basically one of the unsolicited letters you get from random businesses in the mail all the time. So I need ideas about what kind of awesome things would a nurse love to buy! Cute stuff, practical stuff, or a combination of the 2 (like a pink Littman stethoscope lol) - any ideas you have are appreciated! :idea:

Thanks everyone! :)

An information campaign about a housing subsidy for people employed in nursing and for up to six months of job seeking for those looking for a nursing job. Subsidy could be used for either mortgage payments or rent. No qualifiers other than gainfully employed or seeking employment as a nurse.

But seriously, I would look twice at a flyer for RN support groups, therapy and coping skill classes. I have noticed a very large gap in support for RN's throughout school and my work career.

Some sort of powered exoskeleton that makes moving patients and lifting stuff easy. That'd be soooo awesome. Screw the hoyer, I'll just toss the 700 lb pt over my shoulder and go bounding down the hall. :D

Some kind of stress management program/services for nurses.

Maybe a package deal from a day spa specifically for nurses at a significant discount: a massage every week, aromatherapy treatments, yoga classes, organic/natural food discounts, etc.

That would definitely get my attention.
