How old were you when you started Nursing School?
I'm 43 with 3 girls ages 7, 4, & 2. It is never to late if this what you want to do. I have waited so long for this, started yhe journey over 10 years ago however at the time I was an Airport Manager working 16 hrs a day and the company would not work around school, then I met my husband, had three girls and 3 deployments later here I am just starting the program next week. Excited, nervous, and overwhelmed but definitely do not feel that it is too late. I had ladies in my pharm and informatics class that are older than me also starting this fall. Don't let age hold you back.

Pharm Supplemental Books?
I used the incredibly easy, the pharm plash cards, but I also really liked the Mosby's pharmacology memory nore cards (mnemonic) it's small enough to throw in your purse, I used to pull it out while sitting in waiting rooms for appointments and while my daughters would be in dance class. You can find all of these on Amazon, inexpensive & quick delivery. Sign up for student prime (just needs your school email) free shipping and depending where you live no tax.

Which watch to buy
I just got one off Amazon, waterproof, military time, sweeping second hand and inexpensive. All my nurse friends said do not spend alot on a watch. As long as it does what you need it for.

Were you guys allowed the use of a calculator when you took your dosage test?
Our school just started allowing calculators. My first couple of calculation test we were not allowed and they were 20 questions, had to get 18. Which a large amount of us passed. It can be done.

I Need a Stethoscope
I looked at that one too. I find it all very confusing. I ended up getting the one In the link I shared above, the reviews were good and were compared with the littman cardiology II. So I'm hoping I made a good decision.

I Need a Stethoscope
I just spoke with two of my friends that are nurse one critical care (18 years) and a CRNA. The CRNA uses disposable ones her littman sits in her locker and the other says that the Prestige and ADC ones are the ones she uses over the littmans, she says they are just as good and more than 1/2 the price. I just bought one of each on Amazon for under $40. Spending enough on nursing school why spend a lot if you don't have to.
