Gifts for Registered Nurse Maternal Children

Picking a gift for a registered nurse maternal child

A registered nurse on a maternal child unit works the hardest shifts in the hospital: labor and delivery, postpartum, the NICU and pediatrics, often within the same twelve hours. They're the ones who catch the baby, coach the first feeding, and keep an eye on the mom at 3 a.m. A gift that fits that life is something soft and warm for the cold break room, a mug that's clearly theirs so it doesn't walk off the floor, or a tee that tells coworkers exactly where they work. Put the unit name on it, such as Labor and Delivery, NICU, Postpartum or Peds, and add their credential, RN, BSN or whatever they're working toward, so it reads as theirs and not as a generic nurse shirt. Maternal child nurses also tend to love baby-themed designs, and a baby onesie or kids tee with the same wording is a sweet touch if they have little ones at home. Nurses Week runs May 6 to 12 every year, and new graduates often finish their programs in May or December, which are the busiest times to order.
