There are many vital nurse supplies that have a range of functions and degrees of importance which is dependent on the job and area a nurse works. However, among all of these supplies, there are six important items that a nurse should always have with her at all times.

There are many vital nurse supplies that have a range of functions and degrees of importance which is dependent on the job and area a nurse works. However, among all of these supplies, there are six important items that a nurse should always have with her at all times.

One of these essential supplies is the stethoscope. Stethoscopes come in different types in accordance to its usage. The different types would include the adult stethoscopes, paediatric stethoscope, and the cardiac stethoscope among others. They also come in different colours and may have timers or watches attached to them. They may even be disposable.

Another vital nursing supply is the blood pressure device. One of the vital assessments needed in order to be checked by the nurse regularly is the patient’s blood pressure. It is a good indicator of the patient’s well being and recovery. With this, it is imperative to have your blood pressure taken with the nurse at all times. A smaller and more compact device is, of course, the most convenient.

In addition to that, a pad paper and pen is also important for a nurse to have. With those items, the nurse would be able to right down all important information regarding her patients such as her assessments, evaluations, and pending interventions. Aside from a simple pen, a penlight would also be helpful for her assessments. With this, she would need to have a durable pen and penlight.

Last but not the least is bandage scissors. Bandage scissors are considered as an important part of the nurse’s kit, for their multiple uses. They can be used for bandaging, for dressing changes, and for simple procedures of cutting tape among others.

Here are some important and recommended nursing supplies due to their durability and efficiency:
