Calculator that shows your calculations, a drug book, a medical dictionary, my school uses APA format, so its a PRIORITY that you get what ever citation guide (offical) that you need.

my school gave us a nursing tote with a bp cuff, penlight, dressing stuff etc... but we needed to buy a stethescope.

Words of advice: Use your book cd's. they really help.

good luck! and just remember when you stres... your not alone!

A must have for nusing school is good time management and study from nclex books. I am in my last semester, and the best advice I got was before :nuke:each test do 200-300 practice questions. O and enjoy your summer b/c when school starts it will be all studies. :nuke:

I recently was accepted also and start in August... Just to clarify as I am relatively new at all of this, should this be a practice from day 1 of school?

Yes ma'am start on the subjects that you are covering from day 1 and continue..... This was the best advice I received.. My med-surg II instructor (Col. Medvedev), who I love and respect very much, told me to do 100 questions a week. It not only helps you with the subject matter, but more importantly it helps you learn how to "take nursing exams & figure out what the heck they are asking." In all seriousness, this has helped me with test taking.... I really struggled in first semester, but now it's gotten way easier...not that I'm zooming thru without any problems, but I'm much better at weeding thru the extra info. & figuring out what the question is asking. I wish you the best and I know you will do good. You will make friends that are going to get you thru some really tough times... My friends became my rock...and I hope I have been the same for them. These are the people you will come to love and depend on... Cherish them.. If you ever need any help I will be happy to help you.. kinda of a pay it forward... Please feel free to contact me anytime you have any questions.... God Bless!!! Susan
