What’s in Your Shift Survival Kit?

Hey nurses! We know every shift can feel like an adventure—sometimes smooth sailing, sometimes like you’re navigating a storm. 🌊 Regardless of how it goes, one thing is for sure: you all have those must-haves that help you power through your shifts, whether it’s a trusty water bottle, a perfectly broken-in pair of shoes, or that favourite snack that just hits right during a quick break.

We want to hear from you! What’s in YOUR shift survival kit? Whether you’re on days, nights, or anything in between, what are the essentials that keep you going?

Maybe it’s something practical like compression socks or a reliable pen that never gets “borrowed” (you know the struggle!). Or maybe it’s something that brings you comfort, like a tiny good-luck charm or a playlist that keeps you energized.
