Most hospitals have some sort of recognition system in place. You can fill out a form to express your gratitude. Sometimes the "nurse of the month" may get some small gift from the hospital or a designated parking spot. Sometimes it's just their picture on a wall.

Food for the floor is always appreciated. A couple weeks ago a grateful family brought in a large basket fitted out with bags of chips, full-size candy bars, etc. that the nurses loved.

But if you want to single out that one particular nurse, hospitals may have policies against that. As in, the nurses aren't allowed to accept anything individual. Though I suppose if you left a thank you card for her at the nurse's station with a gift card inside, maybe no one would notice.
