Need an Nurse Gift Idea?  ​​

I work as a CVICU RN to fund our wandering habit....so I know a thing or two about what nurses need & want. If you are looking for a gift idea for a New Grad or an Experienced Nurse - here are some great ones!     
​ 
If you are an nurse and you know of something I might like - Message me!  

EKG Badge Buddy - No More Calipers!  
Possibly the best $10 I have spent on nursing!  
R-CAT EKG Badge​ 

Compression Socks!   ​
​Love these designs! 
Sockwell Brand are best!

Pulse Oximeters ​
 The key here is color..... DO NOT go for basic black or gray or it will disappear in no time.  You need an original color so that when you see it, you know that it is yours- The brighter the better!  
Zacurate Pro Series 500DL Fingertip Pulse Oximeter ​
Pulse Oximeter Fingertip Rechargeable

Drink Cups
Yes - we need several! Probably 3 or more a day!   Start with coffee or a smoothie, or both.......plus an insulated one to keep water cold for the rest of the day!  
Fruit Infuser Water Bottle
A Great Smoothie Cup!
MAMI WATA Fruit Infuser Water Bottle
Bubba Envy S Insulated Stainless Steel Tumbler with Straw

Hydro Flask are great for keeping things cold and come in so many colors!  
A heat retaining bright colored coffee cup - every nurse needs their am.... or pm coffee!  
Nurses are like pineapples - Tough on the outside and Sweet on the Inside!
And a funny one!  

Stethoscopes 

One of the most important tools we need to do our job...... and so many colorful and functional options to choose from.

Littmann Cardiology IV with Rainbow-Finish Chestpiece & Black Tube
ADC Adscope 600 Platinum Series Cardiology Stethoscope with Tunable AFD Technology, 27 inch Length, Metallic Raspberry
Stethescope & Gear Storage Cases 
Keep the gear organized, protected, and ready for a day at work!  
BOVKE Travel Stethoscope Carrying Case
ToLFE Cross Body Messenger Satchel Handbags 
The brand of the bag isn't too important - just lots of pockets and lots of room and it will be a hit!  

Lunchbags!  

12 hour shifts = 3 meals in one bag! 
And of course there is never any room in the break room fridge......
​So the bag must be big and insulated!  
Fit & Fresh Women's Westport Insulated Lunch Bag with Container Set, Ice Pack & Water Bottle

Pens - Erasable are great!
Pilot, FriXion Assorted Erasable Gel Ink Pens, Marker Pens & Highlighters
Pilot, FriXion Clicker Erasable Gel Pens Colors

Miscellaneous Necessities 

Stethoscope Hip Clip Hanger 
Trauma Sheers with Carabiner
Hands Free Light - Great for a Night-Shifter!  
Pen Light, Stylus, and Writing tip too!  
Penlights!  
A pen with multiple colors and a carabiner clip -
Yes please!  

Journals

Journaling can be therapeutic after a stressful day... and who knows those funny patient stories could be part of a hit novel someday!   Give them a great way to record those thoughts and funnies! 

Clipboards

Especially great for students!   A folding clipboard that fits in the scrub pocket to keep all of your daily notes patient info safe and secure.  

Just for Fun Gifts.....

The RN Wine Glass!  
Nurse Coloring Book!  

Daily motto..... 
Nurselife Trucker Hat 

A great book.....
Nurses sometimes actually get their break.... and when we do we need to disengage and escape from the chaos of the patient care, even if it is only for a few moments.  There is no better escape that a great book, especially a thought provoking controversial one featuring a nurse as the main character.  

Say thank you to the nurse in your life Today!
