| Gift for a nurse My niece recently passed her nurse exam so I'd like to buy her a gift. I want to buy something practical in her daily nursing life. When I googled, I saw those "compression socks" but I'm thinking she already has those... All you nurses (past, present, future) out there! I'd really appreciate any feedback! |

| I received a beautiful watch with a second hand, a Bulova, from my parents. Other family members gifted me with wonderful medical books...a Mercks Manual, a PDR, a collection of bandage scissors, engraved with my name and graduation date,....I have most of my grad gifts, mementoes of my start on the most wonderful, thrilling journey of my life! I even still have the first pair of scissors, with an umbilical clamp clamped onto the handle, with the date I went through my OB rotation, at the now long gone Jeff Davis Hospital! There are an assortment of "pocket books" for her to carry on her, as she goes about her day, that help with formulas, calculations, etc...is she specializing in a particular area, cardiac ICU, Neurology ICU, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics, ????They now have computerized pocket things to help nurses quickly access information they may need immediately....IV flow rate calculations, IV drug calculations, etc....

| I did see those pocket book thingies but I figured there's an app for them? You provided some great ideas. Thank you! |

| When my daughter graduated she bought herself (yeah they were not a gift, but if she bought them I was thinking it was something nurses need/want) some personalized lanyards, badge holder, with the extracting lead to go with her scrubs. I think she got them from a vendor on ETSY, but I also noticed that Origami Owl has some really cute nurse charms and lanyards if you wanted spend a little more money. ETA I guess they are called a badge reel. So many different styles to choose from.

| OOOPS!! I forgot about those "app" things!! But if she is running to the bedside, doing calculations for IV drip rates, she wont have a computer in tow!!If you can share, will she be on the floor, or will she be in a specialty area? |

| A stethoscope engraved with her name/initials would make a great gift.

| Is she going to be in a speciality unit? If she is, then a stethoscope that would be best for such an area will run you any where from $180.00 up to over $250.00....and that was the last stethoscope I bought, close to 8 years ago......they are more expensive now, for a quality scope that you can pick up all the heart sounds on. |

As far as gifts, you could get her a Littman Stethoscope if she doesn't yet have one.

If her hospital allows it, get her some scrub tops....or scrub sets if not provided by her hospital! There is always CASH, so she can get what she needs most! Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 02-19-2016 at 09:46 AM. | |
