hmmm..... well, although all of you have good ideas I think the best for my situation is definitely a book. I looked into both the books suggested and they seem perfect. If anyone has any other suggestions on books that would be awesome. I'd feel kind of funny giving her stuff like shoe's for nursing right now because she hasn't even started schooling for it. She's 25 now and has been on her own since she was 18, so her whole life she's been trying to make the money to do this. So I'd feel funny giving her something she wont have use for until like 2 years from now. As for the coupon idea, I think its a good idea, but I think she'd find it corny. Especially because we have this awkward platonic close relationship. I just need to give her something that says I really care about her. I think the book idea may be perfect because I can definitely write something inside the front cover. Plus we normally give each other books we think the other would like, but I've never given her a book on nursing and on a subject I know nothing about. See, I'm very bad with women and people in general (she's one of the few friends I have). But I'd imagine giving her a book would be perfect. Thank you all so much so far. I think I'll come up with something good based on what you've given me so far.:bowingpur

hmmmm..... I currently have about 32 dollars. I can make money pretty quick. I do all types of odd jobs. Plus, she'd probably get mad if she learned that I spent a lot of money on her. In fact, she'd probably get mad at first that I got here a gift in the first place. And I didn't think of that one till just now. So preferably the ideal gift for her is valuable and cheap. Even like the quintesential nursing book would be a good idea. I have a pretty good hook up for books, so even if its expensive I may be able to find it cheap.

Hello, I myself am not a nurse, do not have any knowledge of nursing, nor do I even have an interest of it in the future. However, I recently have met someone who is becoming very special to me and I'd like to get her a very special gift for the holidays. She will finally be starting her nursing schooling next year and has a very specific plan to travel across the world and help out poor areas. I would appreciate suggestions on what you yourselves as nurses, would have appreciated greatly as an ambitious person getting into nursing. If it helps, she's very ambitious, doesn't particularly care for cute things. Really I would like to get her something that would really make her happy and help her on her start to nursing. Also, I'm pretty broke, which is why i'm starting this search so early. Just so I have time to raise some cash for it. If its worth it, Id be willing to try and get the money for just about anything (although Id highly prefer a reasonably priced idea). And I must definitely emphasize the point that I am dirt broke. I know this is a pretty dumb question, but I have admiration for all you nurses and know you all are to nice to find it completely dumb. Thanks in advance, I'm really trying to do a good job on this one. I'm very shy and am very poor at expressing how I feel. Im not materialistic nor is she, but if I got her something that shows that I went to pretty hard lengths to find something that was really practical and shows I care, that would definetly help. Thanks in advance, your all awsome.
