I agree. I work in ER, and I wear my stethoscope around my neck, keep a pen, a carpuject, and some tape in my pocket, and that's it! If your rooms all have otoscopes in them, you don't need a pen light, and your med room should have drug books in it. Everything else you need to do your job should be provided by the hospital.

The most important thing to bring is your mind
