Default Re: Shopping for Fall 08
Since I found out all of the restrictions, etc. for the program where I am attending.

So far, I have purchased a pair of Clark's, a pair of Dansko's, and I think I can wear a pair of Ryka's that I already have. I wanted to have several pairs to rotate around.

I have decided on a Littman Cardio III from Steeles.com as they will engrave the bell instead of the tubing which will rub off (from what I have heard). Everything else I want to purchase locally so I can get exactly what I want.

I have decided to buy my initial scrubs locally so that I can get the fit that I want.

Getting ready now to go and get my books for the summer classes I decided to take (not required for program).

Happy shopping all & good luck in NS!

The most comfy, favorite scrub pants I have tried to date are these Dickies:

They have the elastic in the back but drawstring in the front, which I love, plenty of pockets, and I am a pretty petite girl so the petite sizes actually fit me which is a rare find for me! Unfortanately they don't carry them in the color I need for school. I'm in Kingwood's program. Not sure if North Harris has different colors or not, but we have to wear teal pants and white scrub tops with the patch on the left arm. Best of luck to you in your first semester!

I got mine from PRN medical supply off of 1960. The place looks questionable walking in and you really have to dig through the racks to find what you're looking for, but they have things sorted by brand so that makes it a bit easier!

Are they the same price? I'm 5'9" so I probably need to go in and try them on. I may have to get the ones for tall peeps.
Also, anyone have a good recommendation on a recorder?

Honestly I don't remember how much I paid for them, but I don't think it was too much. I'm pretty sure they were under $20.

Yes, North Harris has the same uniforms, so they are out for me too.
