New graduate OR nurse... what supplies should I get?

Published

I'm starting my new (and first) nursing job in the Operating Room at the end of September. For those of you that work in the OR, what shoes would you recommend I purchase?

Other than a pair of OR dedicated shoes, none. Your scrubs should be provided by the facility. I doubt you'll have much need for a stethoscope. Maybe pens (if you don't already have a stash), a lock for your locker if it doesn't have one built into the door, and a small notebook for notes.
