Christina recommends five gifts for nursing students: a Hydro Flask water bottle, the Nursing Diagnosis Handbook by Ackley & Ludwig, motivational mugs, a pink Littmann stethoscope, and a scripture-based prayer journal. The handbook saves students thousands of hours on care plans.
Hello. Hello, Christina here with NurseSchoolOfSuccess.com today in this video, I'm going to give you my top gifts for nursing students. So if you have a nursing school BFF or you just want to get something for yourself for Christmas, these are my top picks. So I'm gonna go through each one of these. This might be a quick video because I just want to get give them to you and I hope that you enjoy them for yourself or I hope that your nursing school BFF loves them if you get one for them. So first things first, I did put all the links down below to all of these things in the description. Those are affiliate links, some of them. So just a little disclaimer here. Of course, you know that I would never, ever promote anything or show you anything that I don't absolutely love. So. So you know that I like, love, love, love these things. So just so you know, those links are down below for you to snag it if you want. So the first one I want to talk about is Hydro Flask. And these are like water bottles, slash coffee mugs. These are like those cool dual wall, I think they call them dual wall insulated. They call them, like airtight. Oh, vacuum sealed. Vacuum sealed, I think is the phrase they use. And so hydro flask, this is super, super cool because it keeps drinks cold for forever and keeps hot liquids hot. So basically I use this through nursing school for in the mornings, I would bring my coffee and it would stay hot. It takes me forever to drink coffee. I really like hot coffee, but it takes me so long to drink it to get through it, especially when it's like, I don't know how many ounces this is 21 ounces. Okay. I wouldn't drink really 21 ounces of espresso. I'd probably be filled up like eight. But I like it hot. So this really kept it warm even when I was at clinical or those really long nursing school lecture days, you guys know. So it kept my coffee hot, kept it warm at least. And it also keeps cold drinks cold. So after you're done with your coffee, you just dump it out, rinse it out, and then fill it with water. And it just keeps cold drinks cold. So I love it. And of course, it's hot pink. You'll see that most of the products I have today, most of time, the, the nursing student gifts are pink in some way, shape, or form. My favorite color. So Hydro Flask is my first pick for you. That link is down below for Amazon, and they're Pretty inexpensive, too. I just really like them because it keeps coffee hot and keeps water cold. Now my second one. If you have not heard me talk about this yet here on YouTube. Oh, my gosh, friend. The Nursing Diagnosis Handbook by Ackley and Ludwig. It blows my mind how many nursing students do not have a care plan book? You guys, this is a lifesaver. It literally writes your care plans for you. So all you have to do is go through the list of NANDA diagnoses on the inside cover here, flip to the page and it tells you your goals. It has like defining characteristics. That's the. As evidenced by it's got related to factors, nursing interventions, goals. It has everything you need to write that care plan. You know that you have about a thousand care plans to write in nursing school, so this will save you a ton of time. So get this for your nursing school BFF or get it for yourself. You will thank me later when you're not wasting thousands of hours writing care plans. So, Nursing Diagnosis Handbook by Ackley and Ludwig. Love, love, love. Do not miss out on that. Now, the next one that I have for you is one of my favorites. I love fancy mugs, love them. Well, I love coffee, so I love me some fancy mugs. This one I actually just got throw glitter in today's face. So if you need a little motivation to get through your nursing school day, I know we're in finals week right now, so. So next term, when you have exams or finals or just a really stressful clinical day that you've got coming up, girlfriend, put some coffee in a motivation mug and it will put a little more pep in your step for the day. So I love this. This link is down below. I just snagged it also, I think. So. This is pink, you know, I love pink. They also have a purple one, I think, too. So that link is down below. Now, the next one, of course, pink again, is a stethoscope. So you may or may not already have one. If you're just starting nursing school next term, you might not have one or if yours broke or something. This is what I really recommend is the MDF one here. Mdf. You see that? Yeah. So I know Littman's really popular MDF is less expensive and it works perfect. So I've never had any issues with it. This was my go to for nursing school and it's hot pink. I mean, come on, I love it. So I definitely recommend this. This is the one I do recommend for nursing students as a, you know, starter. If you want, you can go with a Littman if you want to. A little more expensive. A lot more expensive, depending on which one you get. This one I think is like 25 or 30 bucks. So if you are. I know nursing student tuition books, you've got so much that you are like doling out money for in nursing school. So don't let a stethoscope be one of them. This is a really, really solid, less expensive option for you. Now the last one that I want to talk about is a prayer journal. So this is really cool. I actually just got this for a friend. So it says God is within her, she will not fall. So it has scripture on the front cover. Just this one I chose has scripture on the front. And then every day there's room to write a daily verse, thoughts and reflections, what you're thankful for, and then prayer requests. So to be praying for people. So this journal is from Daisy and Decor. I found it on Etsy and I don't think it's on Amazon. I think I linked to the Etsy shop. But I really, really like it. I think they have a website as well. So I just got this for a friend and I just love it. I love it. It's so simple. And you know, you don't have a ton of time every day in nursing school to do other things. So this is a really, really good one because it's really just those four things and will really keep you centered on Jesus and on what God wants you to do. So I hope that helps if you have yourself or nursing, your nursing school bff, your nursing school bestie that would love any one of these things are my top picks for nursing student gifts for Christmas. So I hope you enjoy them. Again, all those links are down below. I know this was a little shorter of a video today than we're used to, but thank you guys so much for being here.
