I'm a bit surprised that nobody brought this up: ask your school which they recommend! While there may be a blend of Macs and PCs on the campus you'll be attending, the specific school of nursing may be all one or the other. For example, University of Michigan is a known blended Mac/PC environment, but the School of Nursing is a PC-only environment and they even go so far as to publish a recommended computer list for every year's incoming class (courtesy of the university's ITCS department, of course).
