Watch
-
It may seem like a simple gift, but a durable watch that tells military time is a great gift for any new nurse. It's important for nurses to be able to adequately tell military time, and having it on their wrist is much more convenient then trying to add or subtract 12 hours to the time.
Scrubs
-
Every nurse needs scrubs. Find out if the office she is going to work at requires her to wear a certain color of scrubs. If she doesn't know where she will be working or if her office doesn't have a scrub code, get her whatever scrubs you think she will want to wear while working. Make sure to get them loose enough to be comfortable while working and being on her feet all day.

Books
-
Purchase the new graduate several books to help him start his career as a nurse. Medical reference books are always helpful for new nurses to learn certain terminologies and conditions. You may also want to purchase the new graduate a serenity-based book to promote patience and peace while he deals with his stressful new career as a nurse.
Shoes or Insoles
-
It is important for nurses to have proper footwear while working since they are always on their feet. Purchase the new graduate a nice pair of orthopedic shoes or some high-quality insoles to put in her shoes. Many chiropractic supply and medical supply stores sell foot levelers that can keep her feet and back comfortable while she works.
Diploma Frame
-
Purchase a diploma frame for the new graduate. Special diploma-size frames can be purchased online and at a number of retail stores. Any college or nursing school graduate will want to proudly display his diploma, so consider purchasing one that is engraved to make the gift more personalized.
