Advice for starting placement as a first year student midwife?

I start placement soon, any advice on what to take ..?

hello,
this is my must take list for clinical placements:
-a pocket notebook for writing down new information, terminology, and to document obs. This is a must for me and i take a brand new one for each placement block (it will fill up quickly).
-2 or 3 black pens for documentation
-a pocket watch, the small ones with a hanging clip and hang it on your uniform. This is a must for timing references when counting a minute during respiration counts and/or pulse, etc.
-good black and wipeable shoes. Practice walking in your shoes for long periods before you wear them to placement.
-reusable water bottles to stay hydrated
-a lip balm and hand cream. Your hands and lips will get dry when you're on a long shift so it'll be useful to have a lip balm and a small hand cream.
All the best
