Compression socks! Also I used UWorld and it greatly helped.

Hello all! I am starting my very first nursing job in a few weeks, and I am wondering what are some of your favorite nursing supplies that you cannot live without? Is it a certain pair of shoes? Is it a nursing fanny pak? A cool backpack? Is it something I've never heard of? Please let me know ?

Thanks for the advice! I know these are basic things that we learn in nursing school, but I messed up during clinicals on clamping the tubes ALL THE TIME! I learned my lesson to clamp them before doing anything else!

Hey everyone! I am finally done with my NCLEX, passed, and am now an RN. * cue party music, pop the champagne * Now, I start my New Grad Nurse Residency in a few weeks. I have been selected to be part of the Med-Surg Float Pool which means that I will be trained on every floor in my hospital. I am very excited, but also very scared because I have to know basically every type of med-surg nursing. I am wondering if you can share any stories of med-surg "mess ups" or "near misses" so that I can know to look out for these things! I would appreciate any wisdom ?
