13. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    bdgriff replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    The reason I got mine spiraled and the large ones 3 holed is b/c they are easier to handle/carry. Two of mine are over 1800 pages and obviously we won't need ALL of it at class. So, I take out the chapts I need for that week and put them in a small...
