A recent tip ["Prepare to stay hydrated during each shift"] alluded to large water/ice containers carried on apparatus for rehab purposes. The maintenance of these water jugs is time consuming and must be done with extreme care to insure sanitary cleanliness. A better idea is to use bottled water available by the case at low cost at most warehouse stores or the local grocer. At the cost of a few cents per bottle for water and a little more for the sports drinks, this saves on the time for daily cleaning or mixing of sports drinks. Using bottled water ensures a clean drink in an individual container that one can carry instead of an open cup.

Keep it safe and simple, carry sealed bottled water for safety.
