what did you need your 1st day

[JonB04]

What did you need to bring to class during your year of pre reqs. Did you need special books or just a binder. I am asking about pre reqs not the actual nursing program.

I brought only my textbooks and annotated the pages of my books with any notes from class.

i see thank you

Just the normal stuff.... textbooks, papers/notebook, pens, highlighters, sticky notes (if that is you), powerpoints printed out if they do that.

If you are a person who uses binders, bring that or at least just folders.

Depending on your teacher and/or classroom... some dont mind a laptop/netbook but if you know you will lose focus, dont do it.

Pre reqs...you were supposed to go to those. Oops

I'm going to totally stress having a large binder (3" worked best for me) for your science classes. Have the dividers and pockets and all of that so you can keep all your lecture powerpoints, quizzes, lab results, lab reports all neat and orderly. In my micro class, those who did this excelled as we had TONS of papers. Those who just tossed it all into a folder had a hard time referring back or finding something important.

Best wishes on starting your path!

just myself and stuff to take notes with?

[celticmoonwolf]

I took my textbooks and stuff to take notes with. Especially A&P! My teacher hit the ground running and by the end of the first class I had a cramped hand and 15 pages of notes!

i always print up the power points...if the instructor posts them. ...and add my own notes as they go.

i bring a notebook, and like to use a couple of different colors of pens/highlighters to make important points stand out....and a folder. i keep everything

bring your textbook the first day--sometimes the instructor doesn't even use them, and no use lugging them around if not--imo--

good luck!!
