Reddit reviews I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse

• Go onto etsy and search "nurse", "rn", "student nurse", etc. Also try "nurse ID badge", "nurse badge reel", etc. There are a million cute things for nurses on etsy.
  
  
• Cool syringe pens.
  
  
• Does she like to read? This is a great book, it's a bunch of short stories written by nurses telling amazing war stories.

a former nurse gave me this book, I'm really enjoying it so far. http://www.amazon.com/Wasnt-Strong-Like-This-Started/dp/1937163121/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373584813&sr=1-2&keywords=how+i+became+a+nurse

I'm 24/F - no kids. If I could have something that was $10/nursing school related and "unique" here are some ideas:

• [retractable badge holders are kinda cool if she doesn't have one] (https://www.etsy.com/listing/189885005/nurse-doctor-er-retractable-badge-holder?ref=sc_1&plkey=8c7442c2dae069ac907431ab156e0ad18d5577ec%3A189885005&ga_search_query=nursing+retractable+badge&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery)
  
  
• This book, I actually plan to buy and read it eventually.
  
  Also, if she's a coffee drinker (as most nurses are), coffee mugs with nursing stuff that you think she relates to (funny stuff if she's on the funny side, or the more humble side if that's more her thing...)
  
  I really don't suggest gift cards - that shows no effort on your part.

This is a good one about nursing in general and dealing with the hard stuff: https://smile.amazon.com/Wasnt-Strong-Like-This-Started/dp/1937163121

Nurse Anna is also a good resource for burnout related stuff: https://www.instagram.com/the.burnoutbook/ She does reply to DMs if you have any questions about stuff after looking at her posts etc.
