What gift to buy for a new nurse?

Published

Hi, I have a boyfriend that is graduating form nursing school this June and I don't know what to get him. (I, myself will also go to nursing school this fall,;) yeah!) I would like to get him something he can use when he starts working, what are some essential things every nurse should have?

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.

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!
