If you guys are geeks so am I!!! :chuckle Not only can I not wait to buy my school supplies - I can't wait to buy supplies for my son!!! Good grief! :rolleyes: Is there anyone else out there that gets excited when a new color of post-its comes out!!! My part time job is in a art/school supply store and I see soooooo many cool things there when I work I want to buy them all!!! :uhoh3:

oh man, i just saw a pack of post-it's last night that I wanted to get so bad! they were all pink, but each post it pad changed shades of pink from light to dark. they were just sooo pretty! i think I am gonna have to go get them. I also saw a highlighter that also had those post it "flags" built in, which I also thought was way cool. School supply geeks unite!

I'm also a geek. I went to Wal-Mart today and got the 25 cent notebooks along with 15 cent folders. I color coordinate my folders and notebooks for each subject. Nerdy, but practical. :specs: I've already bought highlighters, and a planner, with different colored pens for writing things like blue for assignments, red for tests, green for clinical dates, etc. I just can't wait until my bp cuff comes so I can practice on my hubby. :chuckle

It is not an issue of being a GEEK, it is absolutely necessary, in order to keep up with all the information that will be given to you. Within each notebook, I suggest you add a calendar (full page type) to keep an at a glance view of what assignments are due.

The funny thing about being organized....you will see the other student picking up on your system.

lol. i remember in grade school when i used to be sooo excited about getting my markers, crayons, notebooks.. that was the highlight of the first week of school for me. but when i got to high school, getting new supplies seemed "eh.".

now that im entering nursing school, i cant wait! haha. im so excited to get my steth, bp set, etc... im planning to buy my notebooks, folders, etc. in the near future too.

Not only have I bought my school supplies and ordered my books, uniforms, and clinical supplies--I actually have my bag packed for the first day of school! My oldest daughter and I packed our bags last night. The 2 younger kids are NOT interested in getting ready for school yet.

I'm not actually starting my "nursing" curriculum till next fall - I'm taking general classes this year. But I've already started buying book for nursing school. And I plan on buying my steth, uniforms, and anything else I can think of by next summer.
