stethoscope definitely, though I wouldn't go for a top of the line expensive one, I would get a basic one. I would also get one of those pens with four colors on them, it helps, if you are going to get nursing shoes check with their policy, I know they do not allow open nursing shoes, meaning, they are not open on the back - no crocs either, but I would check - you should be getting packet with all the information - like where to order your uniforms from, you can buy your patches from NCC nursing club. Best of luck.

one more tip . . . always carry hair bands . . in your car, in your pocket(s) - for clinical you have to wear your hair away from your face, they are strict about this for obvious reasons so save yourself trouble and always carry those around.
