SassyRN:

did you guys have to purchase your own bp cuff also?

Thanks for all of your help!

:):yeah:

U r so welcome....and yes we did purchase our own blood pressure cuff I got mine for $13 @ cvs it doesn't have to be an expensive one because it's mainly for your use to practice u will access to bp cuffs while in lab it's not a problem if u bring your own but I do suggest using the ones in lab because those are the ones u have to use for validations.

Some cheap stethoscopes are just as good but it depends on what kind u buy I'm not to sure honestly about the cheap ones I've just heard people say that some work just as good. I bought a Littman because I personally wanted a good stethoscope and I love mine so it's really up to you and how much u want to spend.

@ teejazzy they have a certain website to order uniforms from and they come in all sizes including tall so no worries :-)

Sassyrn2012:

one more question...I think I am going to take your advice and purchase books individually, but do we have to have "codes" someone said something about purchasing codes from evolve...????? hope that makes sense....and your help is so much appreciated!!! :)

@ tvmoore it's no prob u are welcome...u do not need codes to purchase books from amazon/eBay. The code for books applies to if u buy the bundle and along with the bundle u have access to the books online through evolve which is a total waste of time because I couldnt see myself spending hours reading from a computer screen and they are going to make it sound so appealing @ orientation but I was told from other nursing students it's a waste and there are those that think it's great but when I say the BOOK is going to become your new best friend believe me lol!

Clinicals started in March I think it was right after spring break we had clinicals for 5 weeks once a week. Clinical days during the week were tues-thur from 4-9pm or sat/sun from 6:45am-12:45 we had the option of signing up for clinicals during the week or weekend and we were assigned 1 pt it's usually 6 or 7 students in a clinical group our first night we were allowed to work w/ partners just to ease into it then afterwards we worked with our pts on our own.

Already done my background check.....immunizations.....etc.
