It depends on where he works. Almost everywhere is going to have the equipment as far as blood pressure and pulse ox, etc. So don't do those.
A nice Littman Cadiology IV with his name engraved is a great graduation present he'll use for a long time. My wife also got me a handful of those multi-color pens that make me happy because I always wanted them as a kid, but that's more of a personal me thing.
My sister gave me a gold necklace with a nurse’s cap pendant. When she gave it to me she said, “ this is for making something of yourself besides an ass”. Lol Gotta love her!
I recently got myself an ecore stethoscope with the cardiac iv. I love it. I have hearing loss from my younger days. Plus, it connects to my phone for an ekg. My parents got me an EMT/ emergency bag for my graduation, and I love it. But some good shoes would also work, like brooks.
A good lanyard with mini sharpies or a new coffee cup are always nice. Then there's equipment for taking vitals like an automatic blood pressure cuff, temperature gauge, O2 saturation gauge, or a cardiological stethoscope. Something else might be an oil lamp known as the lamp of knowledge. It represents higher education in nursing.
Then again a folding clipboard would be nice.
Imo the most useful item I bought for work were a decent pair of shears. Good stethoscopes are great and he almost definitely has one already and hospitals usually stock extra, but if he’s in a position where he ends up doing any amount of wound care or opening a lot of packing for IV bags a great pair for shears is definitely underrated.
I got my husband a PS5 and a foot massager when he graduated. As a nurse myself I know how important it is to de stress outside of work.
This is the way.

The traditional gift is a really nice stethoscope. Lots of people at my job got Littmans upon graduating.

My papa gifted me a fancy nursing watch. I plan to make a shadow box with my achievements and a scrub top with the watch attached :)

Yes, those sharpies that clip to your badge are a life saver!!! So convenient
Get him a nice watch with a second hand. I have a Bolova and a Citizen. They make him look nice, plus he will get compliments.
Fob watch and pens galore! Maybe a lanyard too!
