Get her a solid scrub jacket with her name embroidered.

women's scrubs | medical uniforms | clinician scrub tops & pants, with personalized embroidery. but I don't think "funky" scrubs are professional at all, so take my recommendation with that in mind.

her facility may have rules about dress code, so I would stick to the monogramed jacket. Wish I had one.

With all due respect, you have no idea whether the hospital "minds" or not.

Name across the back? Uh, no.

Funny saying? Uh, definitely no.

Sis may get a chuckle out of things like that but I guarantee you, she'd never, ever wear it.

Hospitals are professional environments and the cultures generally expect people to dress appropriately.

LOL, every year I ask my sister to get me a gift certificate to a scrubs store so I can pick out what I like!

It's sweet of you to want to get your sis something functional yet funky for work. Since you mentioned she has to wear the basic green hospital scrubs, I agree with the other posters that a monogrammed jacket would be a nice gift. See what color jacket (or lab coat) she can wear. I'd love my initials in pink embroidery on a white coat, but that's just me.

I think watches are a good gift. Because wearing a uniform 5 days a week is rather boring, it's nice to have a unique watch no one else has. Prestige Uniforms makes some cute, cheap watches for nurses. Many scrub stores have them.

I also saw a Simpson's bp cuff set that was super cute.

My local store has fake syringe pens that would be an ideal stocking stuffer.

Don't know if you sis has a certain ID holder she has to use at work, but there are some cool ID holders out there. Same for lanyards.

Lastly, while it may sound boring, socks! I could always use well-made, supportive socks for work. The cute ones with nursing symbols are also good gift ideas.

Hope this helps and good luck getting her gift!
