What did you put in your storage clipboards?

[Mandarella]

Ok, to those of you that used storage clipboards for clinicals. What did you put in them?? It has been a while since I have been in clinicals and I am starting in a couple weeks for my RN. So, I bought the clipboard but what do I put in there that I wouldn't have in my pockets?? (Besides patient info.)Just curious...I'm an organizer...I obsess about these things:eek:

Thanks!!

Excellent!

Thanks, that's so funny, I just finished doing a mini scrapbook page of my kids and taped it on the inside top. Now I know I am not a nut!!!

Very helpful, thank you.
