Reddit mentions of Emergency & Critical Care Pocket Guide

I carry the Black Diamond Spot headlamp. I really like it. Like $40 I think, but waterproof and durable, and allows you to go hands free.

Is he planning on going to medic school? If so maybe one of these https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Critical-Care-Pocket-Guide/dp/1284023702

My preceptor suggested and I bought [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Critical-Care-Pocket-Guide/dp/1284023702/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1492245808&sr=8-4&keywords=ed+nursing+pocket+guide). it was very useful for me at least. Also study up your focused assessments. The Ed was a fantastic place to learn so enjoy!

If she's practical, I'm assuming you mean something she'd use and not something she just wouldn't buy for herself? If that's the case, I would get her something to use on the job. If she didn't get herself a good quality stethoscope through nursing school, do that. Some nice, tough sheers/scissors are always welcome too. If she already got those for school (and likely did) try something for her to use as she gets used to nursing.

I started (and will likely retire from) ER, so this was probably one of my favorite gifts: http://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Critical-Care-Pocket-Guide/dp/1284023702/

It's got drip rates for critical drugs, and the way they list meds in the back is actually useful, rather than flipping through four pages of tiny printed info just to find out what a drug is for. They make a version for OB/GYN, Peds, ect, just search for her intended field. I know it seems underwhelming, but she'll think of you every time she references it.
