There's quite a bit. Like, shoes. She's on her feet 10-12 hours a day except for when she's charting, so she goes through shoes pretty quickly. Like 300-$500 a year quickly. Continuing education hours, travel (she works home health), licenses (she has to be licensed in two states and they'd prefer three), per diem changes when travel nursing, etc. And there's general medical equipment, like stethoscopes and gloves. Some of the stuff is provided, but it's generally what you'd get at WalMart and not really suitable for patient care, as the person doing inventory gets a bonus for keeping costs low and they don't have to use any of the junk they buy.
