What do you pack in your work bag?

Published

I was wondering what I should pack in my work bag? I know I should bring a steth and a change of scrubs, but what else?

After reading a lot of the comments and what people keeps in their nursing work bag gives me ideas of what I want to carry in my nursing work bag. It's not weird for male nurses to have a messenger bag right? haha. Anyways, I've decided to ditch the backpack and go with a messenger bag because I don't want to be digging in my backpack for things that can be easily accessed. Hence, the desire to move to a messenger bag. These last few days I've been thinking of what to put in my bag.
