So i start my RN program on the 13th of Aug and I'm not sure what i should already have and what to bring... We never had an orientation so I believe our first day will be the time for that. What do you recommend me bringing on that first day? I want to be prepared but not come in looking like i brought the whole hospital LOL!

Bring an open mind.

Bring a notebook and a couple of pencils/pens.

Bring a 3 ring binder.

Bring a digital recorder and the knowledge of how to use it.

Bring your best smile, make friends on the first day!

I would take paper and pencil the first day. Maybe have your books and things in the car in case you need to run and grab them.

If your professors have already posted their syllabi online, make sure to take a quick look at them before the first day of class.. Other than that, just bring some paper and something to write with. Don't worry, the first day is always the easiest!

Best of luck!

Something to write with and a notebook should be fine for a first day. Dress nice (first impressions and all) but wear comfortable shoes in case there are tours of any kind. Eat breakfast and maybe bring a snack and a water bottle. Especially if it will be a long day.

relax and have fun!
