Unique & Thoughtful Graduation Gifts for Nursing Students
I’m sure you are proud of your nursing student’s graduation! Celebrate by giving them the perfect gift… It could be a practical gift that a new Nurse would likely need and use every day! Or it could be something lavish, like a gift card to dinner or the spa… Or a beautiful piece of jewelry! If funny is your style, there are sure plenty of those kind of gifts too! I hope you’ll find the perfect gift here, or at least get a good idea or two 🙂 These suggestions come from nursing students, RNs, and others who have some clever ideas.
Unique Medical Themed Pen – Great Graduation Gift for Nursing Students! – This pen has a Caduceus on the clip. At under $20, this pen is affordable, yet very elegant and classy. I think it would make a nice gift for a new nurse.
Clip-on Watch for Nurses and Doctors – Recommended by a Nurse! Although watches are a neccesity for nurses, a wrist watch isn’t always the best idea. It can be in the way when washing hands and it can be unsanitary. A nice alternative is a pocket watch or a watch like this one that can be clipped on to your clothes. This one also has military time, which can come in handy! Sometimes military time is used in medical settings to avoid confusions with AM/PM.

Buy a High Quality Stethoscope as a Gift! – If your nursing student has been using a cheaper model, it might be time to upgrade. The quality of a stethoscope can make a great difference in what you can hear. This one allows you to hear the nuances of the heart and lungs, while blocking out much of the environmental noises that you don’t want to hear. Reviewers rave about its excellent acoustics, and it seems that the extra cost is well worth it.
