How many....

Sl1011 · Jan 12, 2011

Stethoscopes do you own? 2, both Littmanns.
Pairs of work shoes? 2, one in white and one in black. But I need to buy more :)
Sets of scrubs? At least 10 sets... but I'm getting a new job. So I'll have to sell what I have to buy the colors I need.
Other equiptment uniform things? What can't you live without?

I've been working at a doctor's office, so I haven't really needed anything else. Definitely can't live without my watch.

I own 1 stethoscope that I don't bring to work because it is pediatric size and all my neonatal patients have their own at the bedside.

I only have 1 pair of work shoes which is enough because I treat them like they are contaminated and they stay in their own designated place in my home.

I LOVE scrub tops! I get to wear fun prints for working in a children's hospital so I went to count them and I have 22! Most are seasonal so I have ones for Christmas, Halloween, winter, spring, etc. I only have a couple pants because those have to be a specific color.

Pairs of work shoes? 2 (one in my locker just in case)

Sets of scrubs? 8 (the max. number of days I will work in a row)

[How many] Stethoscopes do you own?

2, though I only use 1.

Pairs of work shoes?

Strictly speaking, 1, the Crocs I only wear indoors. I work private duty, so I usually wear street clothes to work.

Sets of scrubs?

3 or 4, bought for the Job from Hell, the only one (so far) that required scrubs.

Other equipment uniform things? What can't you live without?

My penlight, black pens, gloves, watch, granola bars, thermos, GPS, and bandage scissors.

One littman cardiology stethoscope, 4 dansko shoes, and many scrubs I would say over 30 but I only end up wearing a few out of all of them

Im cheap... 1 steth, 1 pr shoes, 2 sets of scrubs with xtra tops. I am required to wear certain scrubs and I wash them a lot!

Steths: 1 I think, it would be in some closet somewhere. NICU provides a steth for each patient.

Pairs of work shoes: I probably have 6-7 pairs I have worn to work off and on.

Sets of scrubs: kind of embarrassing, but I think I have 20+ tops and 12-15 pairs of pants.

Other equipment: mechanical pencil & burt's bee's for the lips; everything else in my pockets I like but could do without (regular pens are all around). I use the mechanical pencil a whole lot more now that we have gone to computer charting.
