   I haven't heard of any restrictions on the color. Based upon what can be purchased with the nurse pack, I think the classic is probably fine. I would recommend getting yours engraved or personalized because I've heard that they can easily be mispla...

   I think ATI is the same company that we registered with to take the TEAS test. I know that we'll use this to take tests throughout the program that will prepare us for the NCLEX. But I don't know what the package includes or how much it costs...

   I contacted the company that provides the nursepacks for UCF. Interestingly enough, they won't provide a list of the items in the kit unless UCF releases the information. It seems that their rationale is that they don't want everyone to get the lis...
