Gifts for Registered Nurse Rehabs

Picking a gift for a registered nurse rehab

Rehab nurses work with patients who are relearning how to sit up, stand, swallow or walk after a stroke, a joint replacement or a long illness. The job is slow, hands-on and often more emotional than people expect, and a registered nurse in rehab usually knows the difference a few weeks of steady care can make. A shirt or mug that names the specialty tells them their particular kind of work is seen. Put RN or their credential on the second line, and add the facility or unit name if they're comfortable sharing it. A hoodie works well for the early-morning drive to a rehab floor, and a mug suits the break room where they reset between patients. If you're buying for a whole rehab team, the Team Shop prints one design with each person's name on their own shirt, which makes a better team thank-you than another box of donuts.
