Fabletics scrubs are just as nice as Figs are… and are significantly cheaper. There’s a variety of colors and sizes. I will forever be ordering my scrubs from Fabletics.

I love Brooks shoes! They’re not for everyone but for me they work amazing. My feet never feel tired after work. I’m always getting compliments on these designs! It’s a sun way to make my uniform more fun.

My baby hairs will always fall out and get in my face by the end of shift no matter what I do. These headbands keep them in place and are super cute! I haven’t had one fall off my head yet either ;)

These compression socks are AMAZING. I have 6 pairs and will be ordering more. They come in all different colors and designs, so it’s also a fun way to dress up my boring navy scrubs :)

The more things I can keep on my badge and out of my pockets the better. If you’re always looking in your pockets for your scissors, these will change that. There’s lots of different colors and I haven’t had any problems with them yet!

On my unit, there are several of us with the exact same stethoscope. This is how we differentiate them so we’re not taking someone else’s stethoscope home. It’s super cute and really easy to put on.

As a side sleeper working night shift, this is game changing! Even with blackout curtains my room is still fairly bright. With this mask I don’t have to worry about the sun disrupting my beauty sleep ;)

These were recommended to me by another nurse on my unit. I live in the city and it’s ALWAYS noisy. If you’re a light sleeper, these will help you out.

I have to walk almost a mile to my car after work. You never know what’s going to happen especially when you’re alone. I always keep this on my keys. It’s extremely loud and will definitely draw attention to you.

These little guys are SO cute! I love that I can switch them out whenever. They’re easy to clean and keep any unwanted critters and substances out of my Stanley.

I love the lululemon totes because they hold a lot and are easily cleaned! I can just throw it in the washer after a particularly gross shift and don’t have to worry about hand washing. I don’t know if it says you can wash it in a washer, but I have ...
