These shoes have been a lifesaver for long 12 hour shifts. They literally feel like you’re walking on a trampoline and they’re so bouncy and light. My go to for a comfy shoe.
Women's Cloudmonster | Pink | On United States - On Running
These are a close second when it comes to work shoes. I have tried lots of different shoes for my 12 hour shifts, but these are one of my favorites. Comfy, cute, but still casual! Love the bulkiness of them.

You will always catch me getting and giving report with my clipboard. I keep pens, papers, and anything else I need inside so I am never without the necessities. Definitely use this every shift.

Hands down my favorite sports bra that I own. She is so comfortable and my favorite to wear for long shifts. It’s seamless so it doesn’t show under clothes or leave you with back rolls.
OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me Hold Up! Racerback Sports Bra
These compression socks have saved me. I have tried so many other brands (figs, several on Amazon), and these have by far been my favorite. While compression socks have a main purpose of preventing varicose veins, I have found that they also prevent ...

Clorox™ Laundry Sanitizer Liquid
This was my first stethoscope that I was gifted in nursing school. I now work as a med/surg nurse and I use this every shift. I can always hear great with it, as someone who struggles to hear breath sounds, heart sounds, etc.

The girlies who know, know. I don’t know about yall, but I’m not trying to wash my hair after a 12hr shift. Put this bad boy on before you go to sleep and you’ll be good to go the next day.
Satin Silk Hair Bonnet for Sleeping
This goes along with the bonnet. Save your time and just put some of this on instead of trying to wash your hair every shift. Sometimes I will put a little of this on before sleeping along with my bonnet so it can work overnight.

There is simply nothing like a nice hot bath after a long shift. The lavender is a nice added bonus.

LOVE this scent for a lightweight, everyday body spray. I absolutely love smelling good. However, I don’t want to overload myself with perfume or use any of my expensive stuff when I go to work. This is great for wearing to work and everyday because ...
