Apparel 👚
Before owning figs scrubs, I thought they were expensive, but then my Boyfriend got me a set for Christmas and I immediately saw the quality difference with any other pants I owned. They are more on the thick side so they can get warm in the summer.
Zamora Jogger Scrub Pants
This material is the sport dry fit kind, and it is so comfy and breathable. Perfect for the busy shift when you just cannot stop 2 second to cool down.
Sona FORMx Scrub ToP
When I want something more light and comfy to work, these climbing pants do the trick. They are great quality and they have many pockets.
Cargo Joggers
When it comes to footwear, I need something comfy but also something easy to clean because god knows how quick we get them dirty at work ! I alternate these with good running shoes, but I like them more than crocs because they don't have little holes...
Boston Eva Birken
During the winter, I always carry a good hoodie to keep me warm. This one is great if you like more the oversized kind of shirt and has great colours options.
Scuba Oversized Funnel-Neck
If you like something a little more fit to keep you warm, this vest is great. Great quality and nice choice of colours.
Scuba Full-Zip Hoodie

Nursing Foldable Clipboard
I absolutely love this one because it is small, it has 3 intensity and the tip glows in the dark. Always ready for the Neuro signs.
LED Mini Flashlight
My night shift friends love this one because you just clip it to your shirt, turn it on to the low setting and can do your rounds checking on your patients without having to turn on the lights and waking them up.
LED Flashlights Clip
These one can easily fit in your pocket or in your nurse purse, and they are always good to have on hand.
Mini Foldable Scissors
These are just so cute and are also small enough to carry with you. With the cover, it is safe to keep in your pocket with your other things.

There is nothing more annoying than having smelly feet after 16 hours shift. I keep a bottle of this powder at work and put in my shoe before and after to keep the bad odours away.
Odour Fighting Foot Powder
The air is so dry at the hospital. I make sure to always have the Laneige lip mask on hand to keep my lips hydrated. They have so many great smells, but I didn't try them, all because one pot lasts me a long time !
Lip Sleeping Mask
When it comes to mug, you have tons of options, but Yeti are really great quality and the water stays cold for my entire shift. With 1,2 L, I do not need to refill it.
