We all know nurses work super hard. This holiday season, get the travel nurse in your life (even if it’s yourself), a gift they’ll love and use again and again! We know the holidays can be a stressful time for most, and since we know the nursing field all too well, we’ve compiled a list of the top gifts on our lists this year so you don’t have to.
Fitness Tracker
Nurses are on the go all day long, and a fitness tracker, like a Fitbit or an Apple Watch, is a great way for them to see how many steps they’re taking and for them to learn and keep track of their health status throughout the day. Fitbit has a lot of great options like the Fitbit Inspire 2 and the Fitbit Versa 2. Apple Watch also has a lot of great choices, such as the Apple Watch Series 8 and the new SE. Whichever style you choose, the nurse in your life will be sure to love it!
Massage Gift Card
What better way to relax after a long shift or work week, than going to the spa! Getting your special someone a spa package or booking them an hour massage is a great way to let them know you know they work hard, so you want them to relax hard. Massages are a great way to relax tense muscles and just have a moment away from the stressful work environment and to get your mind off anything that might be bothering you.
Foot Massager
Some nurses work 12 hour shifts and they barely get to sit during that time. A foot massager is a great gift for someone who works long shifts and needs to relieve some foot pain while relaxing in the comfort of their own home. Foot massagers are great to help reduce swelling and help with blood flow. For extra relaxation, get them a foot soaker!
Compression Socks
If you’re looking for a stocking stuffer for your favorite nurse, this is it! Just like the perfect pair of shoes, compression socks are great for pain prevention during long shifts. They promote better blood circulation and reduce any discomfort and/or swelling. For travel nurses, these are especially great for flying.
Slow Cooker
So we’ve taken you through some self-care gifts, but we can’t leave out our favorite topic – food! After a long, stressful shift, the last thing any nurse wants to think about is what’s for dinner? A slow cooker is a great way to just pop in the ingredients for your favorite meal, have it cook while you’re at work, and voila! You have a fully cooked meal with no hassle. Don’t stress over what to cook or spend a ton of money on ordering in. This is a perfect gift for someone with busy weeks.
‘Tis the season! This holiday season, get your favorite travel nurse the gift of relaxation. We know how hard the nurses in our life work and they deserve to be taken care of. Our gift guide is just a few of our favorite things this year, but we want to know your favorite!
