One of the great parts about working in a children’s hospital within an adult hospital is there are a lot of places I can be called to.
Besides our pediatric floor and PICU, I can be called
anywhere
from the Emergency Department, radiology, infusion center, wound care, our cardiology
clinic, rehab, physical and occupational therapy to even sometimes the adult
ICU or other adult floors. I have to have a go bag ready to roll at any time.
This is my most basic distraction bag. Grab and Go!
Inside I always keep..
A light spinner

A pinwheel (preferably a cool light up one)

Our Hospital’s coloring book and crayons(designed by Child Life)


A rain stick


Sweetease or sucrose solution (remember to replace this weekly
to avoid expiration dates)


2 glitter wands (two so I can have races with kids)

And I always throw my iPad in last minute!
Of course if there is time to customize my bag to a specific child or age group I will change it up as needed.
What is in your grab and go bag? I would love to add your favorite item to my bag!
