Gifts for New Grad Nurses
Finishing nursing school is a big deal, and so is that first shift with a badge that finally says RN. Whether your grad is headed to med-surg, the ICU or the float pool, these original designs fit the part of the job they're about to learn the hard way, plus a few gentle quote gifts for the big day.
For the first unit
Most new grads start on a floor, and the Discharge Is Done crewneck celebrates the best moment of a med-surg day. Headed to critical care? Try the Two Patients. Fourteen Pumps. tee. The float pool tee is for the brave ones who'll learn every supply room in the building.
For the first night shift
Plenty of new grads start on nights, and the Hiring Fair: Nights? mug is a nice nod to how they got there. A cozy crewneck helps with the 3 a.m. chill.
For the preceptor who got them there
Want your grad to say thank you? The Sitting on My Hands. You've Got This. tee and matching mug are made for the mentor who stood back and let them shine. Clinical instructors get the "practice on oranges" tote.
Under $30
Mugs, totes and the "Proud Little Fan of a New Grad" kids' tee are all under $30. The Journey of a Thousand Miles mug carries an old proverb that fits a new career.
Cozy picks
For a pinning ceremony gift, the It's No Use Going Back to Yesterday crewneck (Lewis Carroll, public domain) is soft and meaningful without being sappy.
Buying tip: December pinning ceremonies sneak up fast. Everything is made to order, so order a week or two ahead of the ceremony date.
