LPN supplies

HelloI know I will get a list of what supplies I might need. I would like to get some advice from other students whether current or about to enter the program about what they have found helpful during the program or what they think would be beneficial

Hi there, it definitely depends on your clinical rotations and what your school requirements are but here is what I got for my LPN school year:

clipboard (for taking notes in clinical), note pad, scrubs, stethoscope, penlight (you can also use your phone but be wary of this during clinical rotations), facility approved footwear, protective goggles

Some unnecessary but still useful things I got: badge reel, extra pens, a watch, compression socks, trauma sheers

What I did NOT get: a new tablet or ipad (don't really need this unless this is how you take notes), a BP cuff, a pulse ox

You should be getting a clinical bag too (from your program) and some people would recommend making sure to know where the alcohol swabs, saline flushes, etc are stocked! ? good luck!
