Graduation present for sister graduating nursing school
Graduation present for sister graduating nursing school
I have a sister who after a lot of obstacles is successfully graduating Nursing School this month. I would like to get her a nice gift (up to ~$100ish). Any ideas for a good graduation present from recent nursing grads?

If she doesn't already have a stethoscope, I'd suggest a 3M Littmann Classic III, just under $100.
She should also place a stethoscope sleeve or other identifying marker on it, as stethoscopes have a habit of growing legs and walking away...

Re: Graduation present for sister graduating nursing school
she probably already has a decent stethoscope but that would be a good - and obvious - one
a 'cooler' gift --depending on personal preference -- might be a Figs gift card. Figs makes 'fashionable' scrubs / nurse uniforms that are apparently becoming very popular (depending on what specialty she is going into)

I did this. Valentine's gift for the wife. You know, something from the heart. It is relatively cheap to get them engraved.Raymond wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 11:58 amIf she doesn't already have a stethoscope, I'd suggest a 3M Littmann Classic III, just under $100.

Gift card for a local uniform supply store (where she can try on a uniform before buying). Her first job might require something particular in a nurse’s uniform to distinguish her from a doctor at a distance. Or if she ends up in pediatrics, she might want a uniform with cartoony pictures kids would like.

Stethoscope with a Batclip to go on waistband.
Re: Graduation present for sister graduating nursing school
I think this would be a wonderful gift and personally would recommend this over a Figs uniforms gift card. Figs are very expensive and I have not been impressed with their quality control or customer service.celia wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 4:15 pm Gift card for a local uniform supply store (where she can try on a uniform before buying).

Knackgifts has cute gifts- on a theme of “you rock”, “congratulations,” etc- only issue is they ship from Washington State so might take longer depending on where your sister lives.
Tiffany mugs are beautifully wrapped… as are Tiffany gift cards…
Chanel has nice holiday gift purses with cute soaps, lipglosses, perfumes….

You might consider a gift certificate so she can purchase a comfortable, high quality pair of shoes. Nurses are on their feet continuously, many for 12 hour shifts & footwear is important. Our 2 nurse daughters will attest to that.

Gift certificate for a place that sells Dansko shoes.

The second one for 88 is fairly standard and within your budget including taxes.

Gift certificate for her liking and hopefully a pair of Dansko or Hoka shoes. Can't beat either for being on your feet and moving all day; speaking from experience as an RN.
