Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

Published

Hello my fellow nursing students. I will be starting my nursing classes on July 6. That's only 12 days from now! :nailbiting: I'm both excited and nervous. We had our first orientation yesterday, well it was more like a meet and greet. I have been on YouTube all day looking at videos on nursing school supplies. So I will be starting my school shopping this week. When did you get your school supply list? I was hoping to get mine at orientation, but nope no list! I hope that we can keep each other encouraged through the process. Congratulations to everyone who got accepted into the program.

I bought my shoes for clinical! Ours have to be white. I bought the Skechers Sport with memory foam. I decided to go with the ones without laces--I figured the laces would probably get dirty easily and it'd be a pain to clean them. They're pretty comfortable! I'm considering getting some gel inserts, too.

Pharmacology sounds daunting, so I feel like I should get a head start. Does anyone know of a good website or youtube channel where I could start learning drug classes, etc.?

Renting textbooks? I realize how much cheaper it is to rent textbooks. I just sometimes wonder if it's a good idea. Anyone here renting their textbooks instead of buying them?

I'm not renting any of mine. I'm not sure which ones will be used throughout the program. Plus while we're studying for NCLEX, we may want to go back and reference our old books? I bought all mine used and they're older editions so they were cheap.

That's a great point, I would buy older editions but I fear that it may not have the same information as the edition currently being used.

I also bought my books. I don't want to rent because i am a highlighting queen and i bought new for that reason too. I want my books for studying for NCLEX. besides we got a bundle of books and i want to be completly ready for that first day of school. i usually procrastinate but really am trying not too right now

Yikes! I start in August and we haven't even had our orientation yet. That will be 2 days before classes begin. I hope we aren't slapped with a bunch of stuff to read 2 days before classes start.

From what I've heard, most of the books you get first semester will be used throughout the whole program. So I bought all of mine.

I bought mine from someone on Craigslist who said it didn't matter at all. She also didn't open the books often, if at all. That will not be me I'm sure!
