What a timely idea! I'm working on a little thing for nursing 1101 students, that I'll call "tools for success". The idea being, what they should bring to clinicals so as not to waste time, and to be as professional as can be. pens, penlight, sharpie (I use the kind that is fine on one end and blunt on the other) watch, steth, something to write *on* as well. Just so you all know, I'll be shamelessly borrowing many of your suggestions. Cheers!
