What will you get for that special nurse in your life? Whether it’s a colleague, family member, friend, or a nurse who cares for you or your loved one, finding the perfect gift doesn’t have to be a challenge. Fifteen great ideas are shared on the blog of Rasmussen College, from work-related tools to personal items. Here is another idea – how about a great book? All nurses benefit from the gift of knowledge.

Here are my top picks:

Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice This is a classic nursing reference. And, the new edition was just published in October!
Lippincott Nursing Procedures This new edition includes step-by-step instructions on over 400 nursing procedures – from basic to advanced!
Nursing2019 Drug Handbook I was a clinical editor on this book for years and know the rigor and research that goes into making sure the information is based on the evidence! It’s a must-have at every nurses’ station and medication cart.
Reflections on Nursing I’ve recommended this one before, but it’s worth keeping on the list! Full of inspirational stories from real nurses, it warms the heart and reminds us why we became nurses.
Made Incredibly Easy! Ok, this is more than one book – actually, there are over 50 titles! Perfect to help any nurse grasp a challenging concept and succeed on the job and in the classroom.
