Now that you mention it I might carry the *heavy* personal stuff in there like you do too...

I remember when I got hired at this hospital 12 years ago, and the captain of the safety department visited. He told us that many times, people complained and reported about theft. They go investigate, and 98% of the time, the items are not returned or discovered. He suggested a few things-one is never to bring in your checkbooks or credit cards unless you plan to use it for that day and Badge Holders which hold the Job ID, credit cards, money and ATM cards. That literally stuck in my brain. I used to either have the badge holder around my neck and/or a digital camera bag which contained my wallet and money.
When I became an LPN, I started 6 weeks on med-surg before I went to my regular assignment in the clinic. I met another LPN who wore a fanny pack. She told me this was very convienent for her, because she kept her cell phone, wallet, money in their respective compartments and in the 'main area' she kept a small pocket drug guide, alcohol pads, tape, calipers, flashlight and tylenol (for herself). It made sense to me, and now, I still wear my badge holder, and have added my fannypack. SOme of the nurses joke with me and say that I look pregnant, but, I have not had my items stolen like many of them that do have lockers.
