I’ve had a pretty crazy month on the CCU, here’s the 6 things I couldn’t have survived without 1. It’s worth the money to invest in a good stethescope, mines the Cardiology IV Littmann by 3m 2. I can’t get through anything in life without good pens, my go-tos are a micron pen, and mildliners 3. If you don’t have one already you’ll need a good ekg book, my favorite is Dubin’s “Rapid Interpretation of EKG’s” 4. I take all my notes on the fly in my erin condren notebook my bestie bought me for Christmas 5. It’s always helpful during codes and RRTs to have a watch, I love my hybrid watch by @katespadeny which tracks my steps to keep me active on long days on the unit 6. Any intern will tell you you can’t go anywhere without your pager
