Being a travel nurse comes with its fair share of excitement, but sometimes your routine needs a little pick-me-up. Check out these five ways to freshen up your travel nurse routine.
1. A Compression Impression
Being on your feet all day can wreak havoc on your circulatory system. Sure, standard issue compression socks are fine, but what about when you need a little extra motivation? Show off your personality and style by mixing up your look with unexpected compression socks. With these bold, bright looks from Crazy Compression, even if no one else knows what’s hiding underneath your scrubs, you’ll get a beneficial mood boost.
2. Make Coffee Time Counts
Travel nurses are always on the go. Sometimes you might not even have time to sit and enjoy your morning cup of java, which is what makes insulated travel mugs a necessary part of any nurse’s toolkit. Why not take the opportunity to show off some professional pride by choosing a themed mug? Our pick? This clever, “I’m a Nurse. What’s Your SuperPower?” stainless steel travel mug.
3. Tote-ally Amazing
Organization can make or break your success as a travel nurse. You’ll want to get organized with the right carry-all or tote bag. From practical solutions like multi-pocket medical bags to chic totes like our favorite, “Keep Calm I’m a Nurse” tote, you can keep it all together while showing off your humor and fashion sense.
4. Eating Healthy On-the-Go
Poor food choices can affect everything from energy levels to your physical appearance. Unfortunately, eating healthy while traveling comes with a unique set of challenges. Set yourself up for nutritional success with gadgets and equipment designed to make healthy eating easy. Love smoothies? Make the most out of every one with the cult-favorite NutriBullet, or avoid food waste while controlling your portion intake with the Healthy Steps Portion Control Pasta Basket.
5. Stick With A Scent
Venturing from place to place is exhilarating, but sometimes there’s no substitute for the tried and true. While most travelers know to pack photos, favorite pillows, and other touches of home on their travels, having a signature scent is another way to go. Infuse your living space with anything from candles to room sprays to feel more connected and grounded with your surroundings.
While stethoscopes, scrubs and sensible shoes may first come to mind when you think about “must have” nursing gear, these five items offer that “little something extra”. Have any go-to favorites of your own? Share with your fellow traveler nurses in the Comments section.
