Electronics

I LOVE my MacBook. My school required a chromebook or MacBook for their exams. I’ve heard multiple schools are like this so I recommend you buy one of the two at least. I personally have all apple products and have always heard about how the “apple e...

Apple MacBook Pro

I love this for my notes. I have an iPad Air and MacBook and love them both. I have the Notability app on my iPad and love it so much. I’m a visual learner so I draw out everything on there and it helps me a lot. I also love being able to have calend...

iPad Air

I love my Apple Pencil for my notes on my iPad Air. I have two personally so when one dies I can keep writing notes in class or while at home. I know that once I have to take a break from doing notes I don’t want to start again that day.

Apple Pencil

I love this app for my notes I take on my iPad. It’s so convenient and lets my draw out exactly what I want to help remember it.

Notability

I love my Apple Watch so much. I personally have POTS so I can track my heart rate through out the day while running around the hospital for my cardiologist. I also like keeping track of my steps through out the day and having something I can check t...

Apple Watches

I love my AirPods so much. I use them while studying, or while I’m on my walks or when I’m listening to a lecture at home. I genuinely love them so much.

AirPods Pro

I have this ring and an Apple Watch and love them to bits. The ring was very helpful for my cardiologist as well being able to track my SpO2 levels through out the day and my heart rate as well as anxiety/stress levels which an Apple Watch cannot do....

Oura ring

Stethoscope

Personally I have a shelf full of my stethoscopes and the two brands I love most are my Littmann’s and Eko’s. They both have impeccable hearing, great customer support, and cute colors. Before I was mandated to wear only grey scrubs I had a Littmann ...

3M Littmann Stethoscopes: Cardiology IV

3M Littmann Stethoscopes: Classic III

I love this stethoscope when I float to peds floors. They have great hearing with the little kids. Even when they’re talking your ear off. Personally I have a shelf full of my stethoscopes and the two brands I love most are my Littmann’s and Eko’s. ...

Littmann Pediatric Stethoscope

These extra pieces are great to have on hand in your clinical bag. The amount of times ear pieces have came off somehow, or I leant someone my stethoscope and wanted a different ear piece for when people borrowed it.

Scrubs

I LOVE FIGS. These are the most comfy, flexible, and stretchy scrubs I have ever worn I wear them almost every shift. They are the first nice scrub brand I bought from and will always love it the most partly because of this.

FIGS | Women's Charcoal Scrubs

These scrubs are great. Now that I can only have grey scrubs I like having different brands instead of just FIGS.

Fabletics Heather Grey Scrubs

Shoes

These were the first pair of shoes I bought for clinical and love them. I am a loyal New Balance girly forever. They are the most comfortable and cute shoes I’ve found for the hospital.

New Balance 327

I love this pair of New Balances They’re so cute and are more breathable then the New Balance 327.

New Balance Figs Women

I like this pair of New Balances every now then. I don’t like that it’s not all canvas now that I work in the ER before clinical’s; however, when I worked on ortho or cardio i never had any issues with the cloth on it.

New Balance 574

These shoes are extremely comfortable and have so many fun colors to pick from! These I will say have a bigger sole then New Balances do so they make me feel a bitter taller when I wear them if that means anything to you lol.

HOKAS

Compression socks

As someone who is chronically scared of getting spider veins I wear these religiously. They’re comfy and don’t dig into my skin like other brands do.

Compression Socks

Bags

This bag fits EVERYTHING you could think of and more.

Quilted Puffer Bag

These bags are so spacious and hold anything you could want to throw in them. They also are easy to wipe down if anything gets on them.

New Balances backpack

Study room essentials

As some one who is a visual learner and needs to write stuff down so I remember it I love my white board. I get to write down my notes/diagrams as many times as I want to help reinforce the material and don’t have to waste any paper while doing so.

Whiteboard

I love the expo marker brand when writing on my white board!

Expo Markers

I love this desk so much. Since I like to study for long periods of time I like having the option to sit or stand while working on school.

Standing Desk

I love this while I’m at my desk for hours. I love being able to move while studying so I can get my steps in instead of feeling like a bum.

Walking Pad Treadmill

If you don’t want to buy a white board a clear shower curtain can be just as good! You can use EXPO markers on them and write out your diagrams or notes just like you would on a white board!

Clear Shower Curtain

This whiteboard cleaner is great if you have some stubborn stains or anything stuck to your board!

Pencil Cases

These bags are the cutest and some of the most reliable bags I’ve found. I love corduroy anything so these immediately stole my heart.

Soft Corduroy Pencil Pouch

These pouches are so cute. I love the checkered pattern and the variety of colors available!

Checkered Pencil Pouch

I love how long these pouches are. They can hold just about anything and are very sleek.

Big Capacity Pencil Case

I love how cute these flowers look on the bags! They are so cute and add a little personality to your supplies!

These cases are also another cute option I’ve found that can hold a substantial amount of supplies and are extremely reliable!

Decorative Pencil Cases

Office Supplies

These are my FAVORITE pens. They always get stolen because of how nice they are.

Pilot G2 Premium Gel Roller Pens 0.7

I love these pens they never smudge and write great on gloves while in rooms!

Sharpie Gel Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm)

These pens are great if you are someone like me and love to color code everything - notes, report sheet, etc. it needs color.

Paper Mate Colorful Gel Pens (0.7)

These highlighters are great. They never bleed no matter how thin the paper is and they have yet to dry out in me after using them consistently for the past 7 months. They’re the best!

6 Pastel Highlighters

These highlighters have a variety of different color themes to chose from. They have a chiseled tip and preform great. They last a long time and never bleed through the paper.

20 Piece Aesthetic Highlighters

These sticky notes can be a great way to get in the habit of writing all of your vitals down upon admission/during your head to toe assessments.

720 Sheets Nurse Sticky Notes for Vital Signs

These sticky notes are by far my favorites. They’re just too cute!

12 Piece Medical Themed Sticky Notes

I love my aesthetic and cute sticky notes but it’s also convenient to have some normal ones on hand at all times. These packs that come in bulk are great especially while studying or in clinical when you need something quick to write down a note, or ...

Sticky Notes 16 Pads 3x3 inches

Clinical Recourses

This notebook is a great recourse while getting used to giving report to make sure you hit every bullet on your list. The little LDA avatar at the bottom has been the most beneficial for myself to have notes on all of my wounds and IV’s!

Report Notebook for Work & Nursing School

Shears

These shears are great and can cut through anything!

Pink Shears

These shears are great and very convenient. They are so sharp and fold into a small compact ball and can just attach to your badge so you never lose them!

Foldable Trauma Shears

These shears are not nearly as sharp as the other foldable pair but they are half the size and very convenient for cutting bandages, opening things, etc; however, if you are in an ER that cuts a lot of clothes off I would purchase the other foldable ...
