items I work as a PCT in the MedSurg ICU and these are some items I’ve found super helpful during my shifts!
I bought this bag to bring to work! The material is like a puffer jacket so it’s super easy to wipe off if anything spills on it. The drink pockets on the side are convenient since I bring lots of drinks to work (water bottle, coffee, and energy drin...
BAGSMART Puffy Tote Bag
I know this is a pricy pick for a stethoscope, but it’s expensive for a reason!! I had this when I started as an MA in primary care and it has lasted me a few years to my new job as a PCT. It’s extremely high quality and sturdy, and I anticipate it w...
Littmann Classic III Stethoscope
These shoes are so comfortable. As a PCT I’m on my feet a lot during my 12 hour shift, and my feet never hurt bad when I wear these. There’s lots of debate online about the most comfortable shoes for hospital work, but these have to be at the top of ...
HOKA Clifton 9 Running Shoes
Since I work in the MSICU I don’t use trauma shears all the time, but they do come in handy when the nurses need them for things like wound care. I like that these fold up so they’re easy to store in my scrub pockets
Trauma Shears 6-in-1 Foldable Emergency Scissors
Spirt scrubs are one of my favorite scrub brands. The material is very soft and thick and not thin and papery like some scrub brands are. I used this brand when I worked as an MA and went back to purchase them for my PCT job. They have a good variety...
Spirit Women’s Scrubs
I like to meal prep since I’m at the hospital for 12 hours a shift. These containers are reusable and perfect to portion my lunch and breakfast to eat during my shift. They have containers with different amounts of compartments depending on what you ...
Freshware Meal Prep Containers
I needed a lunch bag to keep all the meals and snacks I bring to a long 12hr shift. This BagSmart lunch bag is super spacious and matches the puffer work bag
BAGSMART Quilted Lunch Bag
As someone who has POTS, being on my feet all day causes lots of blood pooling and severe pain in my lower legs. Compression socks have saved me in my daily life, but especially as a PCT where I’m on my feet constantly for 12 hours. This pack is chea...
Iseasoo 4pack Compression Socks
These long sleeves are the perfect under scrub! I love the color options and the material is thick, stretchy and soft. The sleeves are also lengthy, which is important for me as I find a lot of long sleeve tops ride up on my wrists/arms with movement
GAYHAY 3 Pack Long Sleeve Crew Neck Top
If you like oversized scrubs these are ittt. I wear a medium and it’s super baggy and comfy, perfect for tucking into scrub pants. The material is nice and soft as well!
Mandala Scrubs Mandarin Dolman Top
Love love love these pants!! I’ve been looking for a good baggy wide leg scrub to feel comfortable in and these are the best I’ve found. They are VERY baggy and wide leg so if you don’t like that, you can always size down!
High Waisted Wide Leg Black - Mandala Scrubs
I rotate between these and my Clifton 10s. I personally have found these are even more comfortable and seem to be designed for walking! The color is also super cute with my red scrubs, but they have tons of other options
HOKA Bondi 9 in White/Pink Opal
These are the best under scrubs ever!!! Super high quality material and they come in a ton of colors. I get super cold on the unit and these keep my arms warm
MathCat Seamless Long Sleeve Workout Shirts
I have an embroidered Land’s End tote that I like to bring onto the unit! I have both the large and medium totes in pink, but I think the medium is a much more practical size for work. They have such cute customizations and they are extremely durable...
Lands' End Tote
I have this insulated cup for my iced coffee I bring in the morning! It keeps the ice cold well into the afternoon, and it’s the perfect small size. Note that the 14oz is leakproof and the 20oz is not, so if that’s an issue I would go for the smaller...
