i second the above post. i got my calculator from walmart for $0.99 . also make sure there is no writing in any of the books, just your name. you are also allowed to use any books/references/materials that are at the nursing station.

Hey Jan

I saw your post on the epn too, and will also answer there. I am bringing my Davis Drug Guide and also those testing on the 18th edition are suppose to have Mosby's 3rd edition. Still in search of the perfect calculator, and I am also looking for a watch that has a timer (okay'd by Excelsior). Good luck! Ann

a watch with a timer???? I thought It had to be analog with a second hand. that is it. Let me know

We can't have digital, only sweephand but I asked if we could have a timer on our watch and that would be fine. So far I have been unable to find such a thing, lol....

Ann, I found one at walmart before I went to NY with both a sweephand on the top and a digital with timer on the bottom. Too complicated though and was really ugly, LOL. I ended up going to Target and bought a regular watch for $10 with the biggest face I could find and it worked great. Trust me when I tell you that you will be too nervous to be pushing buttons on your watch during your lab sims (I couldn't even hold a pen my hands were so sweaty with the first one!!!) and in Syracuse where I tested there was big alarm clocks on the tables and I have heard from other students their sites did too, not sure about Madison though!

Ahh...thanks for the tip! I will not obsess about watch timer anymore. I am using a dress watch now that I got from Target (I have not worn watch in 15 years, silly...) but I want something that I can see the sweephand better. In also have an obnoxious ticking egg timer on my table as I am working away on these sims...Crazy how I am just down to the wire on time with my IVPush and I have like 10 extra minutes for my IVPB. Wanting to be done...!!!

No problem! I am going to take a break from online for a little to try and focus on NCLEX and family, I don't remember if I gave you my number but if not its on my FB, but call me anytime! Happy studying :-)
