Gifts for Pediatric Nurses

Pediatric nurses are responsible for taking care of young patients with health problems. This often stressful job requires patience, extensive knowledge of pediatric diseases and conditions and the ability to connect with a patient population that does not generally have the communication skills to detail their complaints as clearly as adult patients. When purchasing gifts for pediatric nurses, choose items and services that appeal to a nurse's sense of commitment, kindness and caring.

Cartoon Scrubs

• Give the nurse in your life some creativity in terms of her wardrobe with a set of scrubs with her favorite cartoon character. From Spongebob Squarepants to Dora The Explorer, scrubs are available that feature just about any character. In addition to brightening the day of the nurse in your life, she will in turn brighten up the day for her patients with her colorful, fun-loving garb. You might even mix up scrub sets and give her a Dora top with Diego bottoms to keep things interesting.

Colorful Stethoscope

• Pediatric nurses try to make the process of healthcare for their patients fun and easygoing. Utilizing tools that are colorful and unique are part of the nurse's ability to take his patient's mind off of his condition. A colorful stethoscope in a bright primary hue or funky neon is a great way to accomplish this goal. A pediatric nurse will enjoy checking her patient's heartbeats with her bright new tool.

Nursing Angel Watch

• Pediatric nurses often wear professional attire that reflect their love and enjoyment of their profession. A great gift for a pediatric nurse is a angel nurse watch that can be personalized with the name of your favorite nurse. You can personalize it with her name or a favorite saying unique to the pediatric nursing field, such as "Caring for God's Smallest Angels." Not only will the recipient of your gift be touched by the creative personalized touch, but it serves as a practical gift as well.
