So what do you keep in your work locker?

[Marie_LPN, RN]

I was wondering what all anyone keeps in their locker that they might recommend that would be a good idea?

Haha! Really want to know what I keep in mine! haha! Sutures, tape, and more sutures. After having them in my pocket all day. Bandaides, etc...

-Black and red pens, pencils (supply is often sketchy, no pun intended)

-bandage scissors, stethescope, hospital ID

-toothbrush, hairbrush (sometimes doubleshift eve-noc)

-tampons, breath mints

-coffee

-EKG reference manual and...

-emergency chocolate!

A toiletry bag for those times you have a REALLY grotty day, do you want to take it home or shower after you take those bloody scrubs off?

Clean cloth caps (as colourful as I can find..) spare pens, electric razor and my theatre shoes when off duty.
