10. What Should I Have Before School?

    Sassafras83 replied to FocusRN's topic in General Students

    With all the handwashing you're gonna be doing during clinicals, some moisturizing hand lotion that fits in your pocket will save your hands. Post-it notes page markers are also convenient. My books are always full of them.
