This list will have some of my favorite items I used often as a CNA and MedTech in an assisted living facility
Koi are my favorite brand of scrubs, I love the pockets and cargo bottoms.
KOI Medical Uniforms & Scrubs
These are more high end scrubs they're super soft but lacking pocket space in the pants in my opinion.
Grey's Anatomy Scrubs
These were super soft and lightweight, I liked the stretchy waistband of the pants
Jockey: Scrubs
Littman makes the best stethoscopes
3M Littmann Stethoscopes: Classic III
I have the one that's black and red with flowers and butterflies. My residents loved it!
Prestige Medical Adult Aneroid Sphygmomanometer
Having one of these for yourself is always good, they run out of batteries or can't be found when you need them.
Concord Fingertip Pulse Oximeter w/ Lanyard
As a left handed person I need a fine tip pen with quick drying ink so my notes to my replacement does not smear, these pens fit the bill every time!
Pilot Precise V7 RT Fine Point Black Pens
When I was working I needed to stay hydrated, I would mix lemonade and. A slice of lime in one of these to help me drink more, especially in the summer.
Large Water Bottle
These were my all time favorite when it came to supporting my feet and keeping them from hurting by the end of my shift. I also loved how they're more easily wipeable than sneakers.
Women's Clogs – All Day Comfort - Dansko
I always kept my hair in a tight bun. These held for the entire shift!
Twist Bobby Pins - Walmart
These kept my frizzies and flyaways controlled even in the worst humidity
6 Headbands with Buttons for Facecover
This helped keep my hair sleek and out of the way.
Aussie : Hair Spray - Target
This is great to put under your nose to help you manage when dealing with intense smells if you know what I mean.
Vicks Vapor Rub - Target
Compression socks help manage leg fatigue and promote circulation
Compression Socks For Nurses
These were great during the summer, just put some cool water on them and wrap them around the back of your neck to help cool off. Also good to dab forehead sweat
Cooling Towel
A good watch is perfect for documenting times of events
