CSCC Nursing Program starting Spring 2012

Hi Everyone, I will be starting the Nursing program at CSCC during Spring Quarter 2012. I am relatively new to this so if someone has already posted then sorry for a double post. I was wanting to start purchasing things now to help from having all of the cost at one time so any information would be great. Also any general advice, tips, do's and dont's are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
