I got the same one too, in raspberry. I got a BP cuff to match. Love it!

I am going to Jeff State. I was accepted there and am still waiting to hear from Lawson. Really, the deciding factor for me was distance (I live in Moody and the campuses for Lawson are farther away). Besides, I took all my prereqs at Jeff State so I'm comfortable with everything there.

I would definitely try retaking the Compass. I think you have a good shot at 185, but those few extra points can never hurt Good luck!!

We were told to get the uniforms through the Meridy's website. The tops run pretty true to size, but the pants are unisex and run large. I usually wear a 4-6 and the extra small pants fit me (that was a nice little boost for my ego!). Shoes must be solid white leather (she stressed NO COLOR at all). They have to be lace-up with backs. We were told no crocs or clogs. I just bought some skechers... Aside from that, I got my steth (color doesn't matter, I asked ), my bandage scissors, hemostat and blood pressure cuff. The uniforms were about 50 dollars each, so I would definitely try to find someone who is looking to sell or give away some unused ones. Hope this helps!

Wow, what a great thread! Now I have what feels like a really good list of things to buy and keep with me. I'll be starting NS in August, and this has really helped me gauge where I stand as far as preparednes and mentality. Definitely keep this thread going! Good luck to everyone!:wink2:
