What to Pack in Work Bag for Night Shift Nurse
I'll take my lunch bag and go ahead and pack that in this big bag. Another thing that you definitely want to have at work at all times is your planner. You make your schedule at work and you know when you're going to come back. I take my planner all the time so I'll know when I'm coming back to work and what needs to be done. I'll go ahead and pack my planner. I need nursing supplies. Whatever you like is up to you. You may want a pencil case. I use this cute little case that I got from the 99 cent store. I keep pens, highlighters, things that I might need at work while I'm charting or documenting. I pack this little case. I also might put my medical scissors in also. I'll go ahead and pack that. You know hand washing is the number one thing to prevent infection in the hospital. I also take hand sanitizer with me also just in between if I'm eating or just if I can't get to wash my hands. I also want to pack my thermos just in case I want to make tea, hot chocolate, or have a hot cup of coffee throughout the night. You can put this in your bag, but you might want to save this on your way to work in case you're drinking something on your way. Stethoscope; always need it. Can't live without it. Can't work without it. Make sure it's in your bag. There's blood pressure cuffs at work. I take mine because I just like to keep it with me. You never know if you may need it to check on yourself. I just like to keep all my supplies with me. That's pretty much all that I have in this bag. What you put in yours is up to you, but make sure you have the necessities.
