I know very little about these. Do they require you to tap them? The way I try to monitor my timing that wouldn't work for me.

Is she prone to losing pens? If not a really nice pen could be a good start esp if she is in a practice with all paper or half paper records. So. Many. Records you have to write.

Add in that they're working on beings who can't talk or do anything about their own situation and are at the mercy of their owners which can be a really bad thing.

You have the perfect recipe for all sorts of mental issues and unfortunately suicide. Some folks just can't disconnect from their work/patients.
