items Surviving night shift going on 4 years! A few of my necessities that make my work life a little bit easier. I’d do anything to make my work life easier lol
LOVE my hokas! I usually wear bondi 8, they’re very cushy and great for wide feet! I can run to staff assists REAL FAST in these 🥹 they have a ton of fun colors and they kinda look like clown shoes because they’re so wide and cushy so I only wear th...
HOKA Shoes | Best Price at DICK'S - DICK'S Sporting Goods
Idk how to add my own links or I would LOL but badge reels are such a fun way to personalize your ID at work! It’s a conversation started too depending on what it is - I love seeing all the different types everyone uses, they’re either really cute or...
Amazon.com: Nurse Badge Reel
This truly is an essential for night shift workers - this + Benadryl is how I’m able to stay asleep in between shifts. Even with black out curtains, I still wake up randomly when the sun inevitably sneaks into my room. The heat on these lasts a decen...
Jekeno Steam Eye Mask, 16 Packs
I know tons of nurses who like to rewrite their report sheets before change of shift and they all use these pens. I don’t care how my own sheet looks BUT I always use this when I’m charge because those documents are shared and I HATE when they’re mes...
PILOT FriXion Clicker Erasable Gel Ink
If you’re like me and don’t care to make your report sheets look perfect since you’re the only one looking at them, these are so great especially as a new grad! I use these if I’m on the floor and color code my report based on my own preferences. The...
Amazon.com: 4 In 1 Pen
Loved my owala! I originally bought it when I first got my nursing job since I didn’t want to carry something with an exposed mouth piece to the hospital. This was sturdy, had a poppable lid, pretty easy to clean too (remove all the silicone parts an...
Do More of What You Love | Owala®
My current work water bottle that I lurv! I really like that this has a lock feature that makes it extra waterproof (just make sure you’re securely putting all the silicone parts back after cleaning or it’ll leak like crazy just like any bottle). I l...
Ello® | Water Bottles, Travel Mugs, Tumblers, & Food Storage
I need a thermos when I work nights - I have to eat/drink something warm at night or I’m not satisfied. Also why is the hospital so dang cold at night???
I love this one! It comes in cute colors, keeps my drinks warm for almost 18 hours (like piping ...
Carter Wide Mug | Fellow® Official Store
I cannot survive without my compression socks. They make a HUGE difference. My calves and feet are usually still a little swollen and sore by the end of the shift but there’s a very noticeable difference if I did or did not wear these to work.
I part...
Compression Socks for Women - Wellow
My favorite scrub pants! These sit at the perfect place on me, slightly higher than mid rise but not fully high waisted. There are so many pockets and one has a zipper. Soft fabric, stretchy waistband, slightly tapered straight legs - I’ve hated jogg...
Women's Yola Skinny Scrub Pants™ - Ceil Blue - FIGS
If I had to recommend one place for scrubs, it’d be mandala. They unfortunately don’t have a dupe for my favorite figs yola pants, but they’re like half the price and super similar material/style wise. Very nicely moisture wicking and they have so ma...
Premium scrubs at honest prices. – Mandala Scrubs
The only other recommendation I have from figs. I have the white tee undershirt and it’s SO SOFT. It’s also really flattering so I get a lot of compliments on it. A lot of my coworkers like the long sleeves too! I prefer to wear tshirts personally
Women's Underscrubs - FIGS
I can’t find options to buy the magnesium I use!!!! Ugh 👎 but I got the Calm brand’s magnesium glycinate pills from Amazon and it works so well for helping me sleep continuously and wake up actually awake in between shifts.
I’m notoriously bad at sl...
