Classic gold RN and caduceus pendant. Great medical charm for a necklace.

Amazon Price: $89.00 (as of 05/30/2012)

This wine caddy looks like a nurse statue! It holds one bottle of wine. It is handcrafted in Germany out of Recycled Steel and Copper. It would make a great decoration for the home or office.

Picnic Time Pranzo Insulated Lunch Tote, Black

Amazon Price: $29.35 (as of 05/30/2012)

Nurses can save money by bringing their lunch to work. This lunch bag has rave reviews. Not only is this very well insulated, but it also comes with mini salt and pepper shakers, silverwear, and a cloth napkin!

Timex Women's T2H391 Easy Reader White Strap Nurses Watch

Amazon Price: $26.00 (as of 05/31/2012)

This affordable watch is both stylish and practical. It has the date and a sweeping second hand. Many positive customer reviews on Amazon!

Nurse/ Nursing Medical Lapel Glow Watch Military Time

Amazon Price: $26.60 (as of 05/31/2012)

Although watches are a neccesity for nurses, a wrist watch isn't always the best idea. It can be in the way when washing hands and it can be unsanitary. A nice alternative is a pocket watch or a watch like this one that can be clipped on to your clothes.

This one also has military time, which can come in handy! Sometimes military time is used in medical settings to avoid confusions with AM/PM.

3M Littmann 2141 Master Classic II Stethoscope, Black, 27 inch

Amazon Price: $98.50 (as of 05/31/2012)

The quality of a stethoscope can make a great difference in what you can hear. This one allows you to hear the nuances of the heart and lungs, while blocking out much of the environmental noises that you don't want to hear. Reviewers rave about its excellent acoustics, and it seems that the extra cost is well worth it.

by: Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Nancy Mitchell Autio, LeAnn Thieman L.P.N.

Amazon Price: $6.17 (as of 05/31/2012)

Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books always have memorable stories! Short stories are great because you don't have to remember the plot or characters. Sometimes when your life is busy, reading a story when you have the time is easier than a whole novel!

Amazon Price: $12.99 (as of 05/31/2012)

Violators get an unusual punishment! Wrap this present up, or simply post it in their driveway for a nice graduation surprise!
