Ok, so I basically found my answers from akspudus under "anyone starting RN at MDC this august?" But another kind of weird question: What are you supposed to wear under the white pants? I haven't bought mine yet, so I don't really know how they will look and feel.Thanks!

For the generic full-time nursing students that start this fall, It looks like we only have one "clinical" class. The course ID's may be misleading to me. I know that we have to have the whole uniform for clinicals. I don't know about everyone else, but my FNDMTLS NUR CLIN LAB doesn't start until 9/26/08. I guess thats so that we actually know a little bit about nursing before we have to perform nursing activities. I see on the schedule that we have FNDMTLS NUR SKLL LAB. Does that require any kind of uniform? I am assuming all other courses, we can where casual clothing. I usually don't buy my books/supplies until after I have gone to class so that I can be sure about what the teacher wants us to actually buy. But after orientation, I feel like I need to stock up now. I looked up the prices for the textbooks at the bookstore, and if I bought them all there, I would be paying: $636.90 before tax. I haven't even calculated how much the whole uniform is going to cost. Also, does anyone have any recommendations on stethoscopes? Do we need any other supplies besides steth, penlight, secondhand watch, scan trons, and regular school stuff? Thanks. By the way, I'm anxious to start classes, and glad that I made it in the program. Hope we all do well.
