Nursing is a serious, stressful profession that often pairs pain and suffering with life and death. Nurses come into contact with grave medical situations every day that challenge the way they think and how they respond. Help the nurse in your life remember that while her job can be difficult, there are moments of hope and happiness, too. You can communicate this through a gift that helps her rest, relax and laugh. - Fill a plastic pen case that looks like a briefcase with items related to a nurse's job. You can call the gift a "Nurse Survival Kit." Fill the case with useful and amusing items such as a button "to remind you that sometimes you need to button your lip," marbles "to replace the ones you will lose" and a playing card "to help you be a better mind reader," as suggested by the craft website Sawyer's Specialties. Also, include practical items like pain reliever, chocolate and a miniature, battery-operated fan.
- Buy a watch that has nursing symbols on the dial, and personalize it with the nurse's name. For example, on one nurse's watch, the dial has a stethoscope, a nurse's hat and a heart. This entertaining watch is amusing and personal. You can add a message or the nurse's name---up to 18 characters and spaces---on the dial.
- Purchase a medical clipboard that you can personalize with a funny message or the nurse's name. Clipboards come in a variety of colors and allow up to three lines of customized text. This makes the clipboard ideal for displaying a nurse's joke. An example from the Jokes About Nurses website: "You know you are a nurse if ... You can only tell time with a 24 -our clock ... You can intubate your friends at parties ... Eating microwave popcorn out a clean bedpan is perfectly natural." Use one of these jokes to bring a smile to your nurse's face every time he uses the clipboard.
