Hey everyone, I’m looking to be a future nurse and I’m just trying to figure out what’s a good way to prepare. My high school offers a CNA class but I don’t have space for it and I feel that when I get to actual nursing school that I’ll be the only one who doesn’t know the basics. Is it a good idea to get my own things like a stethoscope and blood pressure cuffs and stuff so that I can practice and learn how to do it or is it just a waste? Also are there requirements on what kind of stethoscope you have in Nursing school? Is there a brand every school uses or is each school different? Does it actually matter as long as I have a good one that works well? Thanks for the help!
