New Nurse Survival Kit
All the things I wish I bought before I started my first nursing job! From the best shoes for being on your feet all day to the day-to-day essentials to get you through your shift, this list has everything you need to feel prepared for your first day...
Fit Check: Scrubs & Shoes
From scrubs to compression socks, stay comfy all shift long.
For all-shift comfort. These shoes have saved my feet!
Comfy like athleisure, plenty of pockets, & the most popular scrubs out there
Whether you want compression socks or cute ankle socks, Bombas are supportive, comfy, and stylish.
Pop your shoes in this before you get in your car, slip into your post-shift comfy footwear, and keep your car clean from any hospital germs!
Allegedly as comfortable as pajamas.
Tried and true, Dickies always comes through.
Stay Hydrated & Caffeinated
What even is a nurse without water and coffee?
Keep yourself hydrated all shift long
Keeps your drink cold for over 24 hours and has a protected push to open lid.
Truly the best travel mug I've ever had. Auto-seal lid makes it easy to sip your coffee on your way to your shift.
Food is Fuel: Everything you need for the meal prep
Must-haves for meals and snacks galore. Because you're TOTALLY going to meal prep-- right?
With two compartments to keep food cool, a snack pouch, and a water bottle holder, this lunch box is everything!
For food prep and leak-free transport to work!
Essentially a reusable ziploc bag. Reduce your waste and keep your food fresh. Huge bonus - dishwasher safe!
Essential Tools
All the tools I wish I brought to my first shift.
From blood draw references to what to do in a code blue to med cheat sheets, Shift Change RN has pocket sized references you can pop right behind your badge. Truly livesaving.
A *must* have for night shifters!
If you aren't taking report in multiple colors, are you really taking report?
