My school sent a letter and let us know to bring our Nursing Fundamentals books with us. During orientation they told us we would need paper, pen's, pencil's and highlighters.

So not knowing if I would need all this the first day I just brought a notebook, the requested book, one pen, one highlighter, and one pencil. I ended up needing the notebook, pen, and requested book.

i brought all of my books, 2 pens, 2 pencils, a notebook and a highlighter.

in my opinion it's better to be over prepared than under.

Pen,pencils,paper,highlighter, They should tell you what books if not put them all in your car and pull out what is needed.

Bring lunch and a drink just in case you can't go out

Good luck!

A calendar that covers the months of the school term so you can pencil in due dates of assignments, special projects, days off, etc. as they are given to you.

You will need your basic things. Pens, pencils (#2) ofcourse, highlighters,3 ring binder, day planner(something to write your homework down + test dates), flash cards ( a must!!!), and a book bag. (some type of bag to tug your books in). Basically that' s all I needed so for as I'm only in the first 4 weeks of the program. Now I'm sure your school will let you know if you need any additional things as you go a long.:p

Good luck!:wink2:
