I want to buy a very very nice gift for someone who is going to get their BSN in 3 months, and has worked their *** off to do it.

Boy, I sure suck at giving details! lol
He is male, and the reason I am making such a big deal of this (aside from the fact that he is my partner) is that it's a middle aged career change, and was REALLY hard! But you guys have some great ideas! Thanks

A stethoscope?
They'll use it all the time and always think of you when they use it.
How 'bout a stethoscope and a vacation? And you go with that person?

Male or female? If you don't mind letting them know about it, take them on a shopping spree for either needed items or "spoiling you only" items. Or just give them the cold hard cash if they need some bills payed off. It depends on if you want them to get a little spoiled. New clothes, spa time, club membership at a fitness center or something they enjoy, the list goes on. Or take them on a trip somewhere. Thanks for being such a good friend to the Nurse!!!! They all need friends like you!!!!!

Being a Firefighter and an EMT, I know a ton of nurses. With a lot of nurses, even myself after I got my Medic degree, the best thing that I got was a new stethascope. They can range from $50-over $200. You can even get them customized with names on them, or gold plated, etc. That would probably be your best bet. I'd say look for deals on sale, thats what my parents did, and they work so much better than generic ones the hospitals have. And they make you look way cool around a hospital ;) .

Wow, that is a lot of money you are wanting to spend. Since the bank is that big, why not buy her a vacation? If he/she worked that hard, I'd say a little rest and relaxation is in order. If you want something more substantial, take the new nurse shopping for all the scrubs and tennis shoes she wants.
What a great thing you are doing - and how very thoughtful And oops, I don't know why I fell into the "she" thing. Let me edit that...

First, yes, a high end stethoscope is in order.
Second, a day at a spa, she's earned it.
(Okay, now we are up to $500 easy, already)
She will need two pairs of really comfy shoes, so gift card to an athletic shoe store - $200 there.
She will need scrubs, and lots of them. Gift card for that.
Last, she could use a really nice pen. Sounds corny, but you know what? She will use it every day and people get attached to their pens.
How very generous and thoughtful of you!

A gift certificate to a local spa. After that much hard work, they'd appreciate some relaxation

When a close friend of mine became an RN, I bought her a very nice music box with a nurse motif.
