Heck, our classrooms are set up for laptops with power run to each table. And recorders are welcome in every class I've had...if they *weren't* I'd have to wonder why not??
I use a 2" binder with dividers for each unit of study in lecture and lab...and a separate notebook for clinical stuff. I also keep an accordian folder full of extra clinical forms I may need.
Another must: make copies of every clinical week's work...I have most of it on my harddrive, but I want a copy with the CI's comments for future reference
Oh, and save save save everything from each semester. You never know when an instructor will say "That information is in your packet from NUR 115" for example. I have a file drawer just for nursing school materials.
