Pens. I absolutely despise the moment where my cheap ass generic brand pen would not write a single word anymore. There was still TONS of ink and the ball was moving, so I dunno what the hell that pen's problem was. In nursing, your pen.. is pretty much your best friend.
Headphones. I have used cheap headphones and I have used expensive headphones. Both of them break eventually, but the slightly more expensive ones last wayyyyyyy longer.
Non-slip comfy nursing/walking shoes. The non-slip is VITAL. I bought non-slip shit from Wal-Mart for 20 bucks. That shit was NOT non-slip. Those shoes definitely had no protection against puddles of piss and working with someone in the shower involved lots of gentle steps. My mom has some 60 dollar nursing shoes/walking shoes. They are totally non-slip and are comfy as hell.
