Just give money. That's what everyone really wants. No gift cards. Cold hard classy CASH! [emoji857]

That's nice of you to even consider giving something. Usually the students buy things for you. But an Amazon or Starbucks gift card is nice. Something useful during this age.

I got an iTunes gift card last year...really? Would've been nice in 2002. The pharmacist was like 60. :lame:
 
I always give a gift to my graduating interns. This year my favorite intern in the last 35 years is ready to fly the coup. I will take her and her husband to a nice restaurant and I will give her some of the pharmacy memorabilia I have collected over the years . I will probably throw in an amex gift card as well. She has made the last 4 years easier for me. Kids like this come along only once in a while and you have to appreciate them while you have them around. I have has the murderer's row of Interns the last 5 years. I also get to learn from some very bright people. This woman worked 20 hours a week, also did per diem at a hospital, volunteered at her church, did extra curricular activities at school and topped it off with a 3.98 GPA. I will never see this again. I have posted this many times. It's an old Talmudic saying:

Rabbi Chanina said:
  • Much have I learned from my teachers.
  • More from my colleagues than from my teachers,
  • But, from my students I have learned the most.
