Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to start another topic but I couldn't find info on this in a search. My school offers nursing equipment kits for $140. They have the basic nursing supplies, most of which I probably know nothing about, but don't include a stethoscope, which I don't need anyway. I already splurged on a Littman Cardio IV- it was previously initialled so it was a good deal. Obviously I'm trying to save $$ and I'm wondering if I would be better off buying my own stuff. I imagine most schools require the same kit. I've found kits for half that price that included a stethoscope, although not a Littman lol.

So, do you all think it's worth it to buy it from the school or would I be better off getting my own? If so, anyone have a basic list of must-haves so I know what must be included? I could also buy everything individually...

Thanks so much for any advice.

Ok, heard back from my director. We have to buy the nursing kit from them. All that obsessing for nothing. She's so busy with paperwork, I didn't have the heart to ask her for a list of the contents. Don't wanna annoy her before I even start school ?.

Thanks again for all your replies and advice, everyone!
