a LPN essentials for school..any suggestions??

Published

I am starting school in a month to become an LPN. I went to orientation and I recieved a list of where I have to order my uniforms(a lab coat, scrubs, name tag) and I can also order my bandage scissrs,goggles,stethoscope, and watch there. I also recieved my book list. o other than that does anyone else have any reccomendations of what I should buy? A calculator? and I think that the steth may be a little pricey there....but I am not sure what type or how much I should spend on one? Any help on anything would be so helpful.... also if anyone can give me any insight on what I should expect when I am actually in class and if I should prepare in any way for something(catch up on my reading in certain subjects) anything at all will really help! THANKS!!!!!:confused:

I am so glad someone started this thread here.

I just came from Barnes & Noble and saw the LPN notes but there were so many things that one could buy. I did purchase Taber's cyclopedia.

I know there is a thread in the other forum on PDAs. I have tried to read through it more than once and get so lost. Do any of ya'll plan on getting a PDA or have one?

The Tabers will be your BEST FRIEND! it was one of our requirements to have it for our LPN class. It comes in handy for so many things. Good choice:yeah:

Get yourself a nice sturdy pin light with exchangeable batteries... I couldn't survive without it!
