Start with Epocrates. You can get a free download from epocrates.com i believe. I ordered the nursing central pack from www.lww.com when I got my PDA and it has been wonderful. You can get more ideas from the PDA nursing forum.

Kim-
Thanks for the tips!! I was looking at two different stethescopes--would either work?

Should I go ahead and buy them or just wait until class starts? I also noticed in our syllabus that it said we need bandage scissors, a pen light, watch, etc...should I buy those now or wait?
Also, where do you go to print off the lecture guides? Do they let you tape the lectures if you have a voice recorder? I got one for Christmas--I have an hour long drive to school and thought it would be great to listen to lectures while driving--get in a little extra study time!
I am so excited about starting!!! I have been counting down the days!! Thank you for all your help!! Good luck this semester!!

I have bought almost everything I need. I still need to get my stethescope and uniforms. I bought a pen light at wal-mart and got two pair of bandage scissors off of Ebay for a couple of dollars. I got my shoes at The Rack Room. I got my physical and drug test at The Batesville Clinic. It was $50 for the physical and $35 for the drug test. I am going next week for my shots at the Health Dept. They are $10 a piece and also I am getting my TB test there for $10. I think I am gonna get a cheap stethescope off of Ebay to begin with and then later on upgrade to a Littman.

Sounds good--that link for the littman light is only $35--not bad for a littman. That web site has really good prices.

Littman's are the best....i absolutely LOVE mine because when you're on your feet for 8-12 hrs like you are in clinicals (well i don't know what your clinicals are like) but you need something really light because you can honestly feel each extra pounds and littman's are really light and that's a really good price because i bought one of the upper priced littman's and i paid 90 bucks

It was the first day of school today. It wasn't bad. I was expecting worse.

I can't get on blackboard today. Anyone having problems?

Blackboard was down yesterday and today. Hope they fix it soon!
Have you looked at the medical terminology for quiz 1? How are you studying for it?

I just wrote down the differant roots and stuff and I am studying those. I have had Med term before but it is hard to study when you don't know how the tests are set up.

Good Luck on the test tommorrow!!!
