What gift to get for a nursing student?

Published

Hello everyone,

My good friend, who is a nursing student, has a birthday in two weeks. I'd like to get her a cute/awesome gift that is nursing related. However, I cannot think of anything. Would you guys mind giving me some ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it! :)

Coffee gift card. Gas gift card. Massage gift card.

There are some cute pens that can be found at scrub/ nursing supply stores

In my opinion , Pulse ox not so useful as most facilities must use equipment cleared from the biomedical engineering dept. And if a patient needs a pulse ox reading the facility should be able to provide the proper equipment.

A nice watch? Maybe one of the ones that clipped to your scrubs?

An id badge holder. Etsy has a huge selection (just check ratings before you buy. Some problems lately with sellers not following through) the also have metal engraved id cuffs for stethoscopes and cool jewelry that's nurse related. Or prints and pics from the national Nurses Historical society.

Gift cards are great too.

I don't know if it's still in print, or updated, but I thought the book How to Survive (and Maybe Even Love) Nursing School was cute.

At the top of my wish list right now: cute compression socks, a plum paper planner, a massage, an amazon gift card (textbooks).

a plum paper planner...? The color plum, or you mean a really GREAT one.....something tells me I'm getting to the "dense" time of day!

Overpriced personalised planners. (I require a little more for my money than a fancy monogrammed cover on a plain old planner for 30ish bucks. But here is the link:
