    Clothes and Diet Coke. I can scrounge for the rest of what I need. I'd go without the clothes, but getting from the parking lot to the locker room without being seen and probably arrested would be a challenge.

    Coke(the real thing, not diet) and spearmint gum. Coke keeps me awake and spearmint gum can hide any smell.

    it's interesting... when i was an EMT in Canada (before becoming an RN) most of the nurses had a stethescope but here in New Zealand i NEVER see any nurses (not even in respiratory units) carrying them!
    but in answer to your question...
    chapstick, red/blue pen, mint gum, fobwatch, notepad, eftpos card

    Diet Coke. We're suppose to use the patient's dedicated stethoscope in their room.
