A Littman Stethescope. I love them, and he'll be able to use it in any field of nursing he chooses. I wouldn't want anyone to pick out uniforms/shoes for me. I'm way too picky, but he may appreciate that idea too. Gift certificate is a good idea too.

One of my favorite gifts was a gift certificate to a uniform/supply store. Also, a gift certificate for a massage might be nice.

maybe a well deserved vacation for both of you. You both made sacrifices...

I liked the pda and stetoscope ideas but you don't necessarily have to buy him nursing related gifts.

Lots of footsoak for those tired feet...

Hi, If you have the money, a PDA with MIMs (or medications manual) is very useful for any grad nurse or otherwise get a decent stethoscope and a small (pocket size) medication book.

Good luck in the future

It depends how much money you are willing to spend...I would think a PDA would be nice but is expensive...you can also get him a new drug book -- that should be cheaper.

I would get him a fancy alarm clock...to make sure he wakes up in time for work! he he I know it's not the most glamorous idea but we all need one and he will see it everyday!
