And we have a laundry list of things to buy before then... So I need recommendations, reviews (and tips on where I can get the best quality at the cheapest price!) First, I need some shoes. As a student they must be ALL white, no lettering or logo showing. I need lots of arch support and I have wide feet. I have looked at nursemates and I think they look high quality, what's your favorite? Next, I need a watch... I am kinda grossed out by the thought of having a germ harboring piece of leather or plastic around my arm... Is there such thing as an antimicrobial watch out there? I am assuming that it too will need to be all white. I would prefer it have army time on it... A stethoscope. Now, I have seen tons on ebay for like $10, and when I was pregnant, I actually bought one. I dont know much about stethoscopes, but I wasn't impressed.. Recommendations? Bandage Scissors. Are these a pretty general item, what you get here, you'll get there kinda thing, or is there some special brand that is the best? Support hose/socks... These aren't on my programs list, but my aunt who is an RN (and my inspiration), told me that with the history of varicose veins in our family, I should always have some sort of support... Are tube socks enough or what should I consider? I've already bought my scrubs. I am TRULY jealous of the Nursing students at the nearest college, they get to wear beautiful blue scrubs while we are in flattering white! Thanks in advance for all the help and recommendations!
