Gift for RN graduate?

One of my friends is graduating from nursing school and taking a job as an RN.  She's having a party this Saturday and I need gift ideas.  Anyone??

Re: Gift for RN graduate?

  • How weird...one of my friends is graduating from nursing school, she just accepted a job as an RN in a NICU, and she's having a party on Friday!

    I need ideas as well...

  • A fun pair of Nikes (or other tennis shoes good for long hours on one's feet).
  • When my best friend graduated with her RN, I made her a stress relief basket - she was always stressed out while earning her RN, and I knew doing the actual nursing part wouldn't be much easier. The basket had an OU mug that I'd found, some calming teas, calming lotions/scents I'd found at Bath and Body Works, and I think I tossed a robe in there I'd found on sale at BBW.

  • Everyone really likes those cute retractable badge clips that have a rhinestone initial on them.  If she gets to pick her own scrubs she might like a gift card to a scrub shop.

  • Maybe a nice bag to carry her things (lunch, change of clothes, etc,) to work?

    Do you know of any restaurants close by her job? She might want to run out and grab a quick lunch sometimes.

  • When my mom graduated Nursing school, some of her most favorite gifts were scrubs and a pedicure.  I think a gc to Scrubbies (or another scrub store) would be great, and nursing school is crazy busy so I'm sure she'd appreciate a pedi!! 
  • Hmmm...DH always liked a Barnes and Noble or Amazon gift certificate (he had to buy some drug guides and some additional books for special certification trainings within the first year). Gift cards to a big shoe store or a nice clipboard would also be appreciated.

    What type of store carries these badge clips?  I think she would love one.

  • I've seen them at hospital gift shops.  Also, the last hospital I was working in had a lady that was making them for everyone, so maybe try Etsy.
