Behind Closed Doors - My Back-to-Work Shopping List

Must-have items for the tastefully appointed surgical nurse.

Paula Watkins, RN, CNOR

back-to-work shopping list NOT EASY FINDING GREEN Some choices are so traditional that few choose them anymore.

By now the kids have been back to school for about a month. I was in a Wal-Mart that first week and, passing the wreckage of the school supplies aisle, felt relieved I didn't have to deal with that anymore. As a traveling nurse, however, I guess I do, seeing as how I seem to have a back-to-work shopping list whenever I start a new assignment. Maybe those of you who stay in one place also take this time of year to restock your nursing needs.
