Hey all!
I start nursing school this fall :yeah:and I asked some of the current students for some advice.
One girl told me for anatomy to get an actual skeleton model (my program is somewhat odd in the way that A&P aren't pre-reqs) Have you done this? Does it actually help or will it be a waste of money?
Secondly, I asked what to get for a clip board. I've been told several things. Some say a calculator is a must, others say a storage compartment is necessary, and I've also been told an anatomy chart on the clipboard is something needed. I've seen these things in combination, but not all 3. What do I really need in a clipboard?
Any other must haves you guys recommend? Our school requires a medical dictionary and a specific NCLEX book, but I've been told to invest in multiple NCLEX books so I'll probably be doing that. Is the newest edition necessary, or if I buy one edition older (= less $$) will I be okay? Or does the NCLEX differ a lot from edition to edition in books?
Thanks for the advice guys!
