What's the worst thing you've found in your scrub top/bottom pockets upon arriving home.
Meds? Syringes? Alcohol Pads? Medipore Tape? Insulin Vial?

I have a bad habit of putting empty alcohol packets, tape , ear speculum's , saline bullets and albuterol bullets in my pockets. My husband who does the laundry remarked one day " do you think you could quit using your scrub pockets for trash cans 😄😎

Was counting narcs with oncoming shift (remember I've been a nurse since the dawn of time) and the other nurse flipped the box of Demerol because it got caught on the edge of the shelf. 25 vials of Demerol came raining down on our heads and we were able to find all but one, miraculously all unbroken. Couldn't find the other one anywhere till I got home. It was hiding in my pocket among the usual bunch of junk I take home: gloves, used alcohol pads, 4X4s and the remains of my granola bar.
