Uniform...bandage scissors, hemostat, stethoscope and watch.

Allheart.com has some awesome deals on the supplies. Not sure what you need, but I recommend checking them out!

Here's what I spent for clinicals:

Shoes - 125

Uniforms - 120 for 2 sets including 1 jacket

Steth - 225 (place I ordered from gave me scissors and hemostat with my order)

Watch - 15

I didn't include my compression socks since not everyone wears them.

For my labs and clinicals I had to buy a uniform and white shoes, as well as a stethoscope, scissors, watch, and pen light.

The price all depends on what your school requires.

My stethoscope was about $120

watch $15

Scissors $7

Penlight $1

Uniform was $70

Shoes were $40 because ours had to be leather

Uniform: $280 for 2 sets :eek:

Watch: $10 it was a cheap one from Walmart

Shoes: Gift from Mom but were $60

Stethoscope: Gift from Mom, cost $80

Scissors: Gift from Mom not sure of the price

Penlight: Kids broke mine need to get another for $5

In our program, it's a CC, we are not required to have our own "kits" for procedures/labs so I'm assuming that cost was built into the tuition.

I heard that it is good to buy the best stethoscope you can afford as it will allow you to learn to differentiate murmmers/breath sounds, etc. more easily

This is correct...You will really be able to hear much better with a good quality stethoscope. Mine is a Littman and I love it!
