TOP 5 Paraphernalia in your pocket as a Nurse

Every nurses has their own  choices of paraphernalia depending on which department you were assigned, and you're good to go!

I am an ICU Nurse so here's my List:

1. Penlight

There's nothing more important than this paraphernalia. Once you're in ICU, nothing beats the pupil assessment q 1H! (every hour!)

2. Pen

The all time favorite to lose! As what my colleagues were saying, better to leave your cellphone ('cause nobody will snatch it) rather than your pen, because everybody needs a pen especially during toxic moments, 1 minute you leave it and voila! Its gone. :D Kidding aside, this is very important for consents.

3. Scissor


For the soldiers, this is also our weapon, not just syringes. Because in every situation, there is something you need to cut, better be ready at all times.

4. Plaster

Every time and all the time, you will need this! ;)

5. Identification Card

Of course, it's an SOP, usually it comes along with your keycard for you to enter your unit.

What yours? Just comment below. You can also comment your designated department as it varies depending on your unit assigned. :) love to read it.
