Hello,

just to answer a couple of your questions.

1. If you buy the coursepoints you will not need the hard copy textbook. The coursepoints are a required purchase and come with the ebook. Taylor Fundamentals and skills are the nursing go to 1st semester so make sure you have those. You also need a drug book. Some people seemed to like the pocket drug books for clinical. I would also suggest you invest in a decent pen light. You can find them on Amazon for about $5.

2. The supply bag comes with a lower end stethoscope. If you want a better quality sound then I would order a litmann. FYI people got through the semester just fine using the one in the supply bag. It's really a personal choice.

Hope that helps! :)

Also a laser printer is one of the best purchases I made. When I tell you that you will be printing REAMS of paper trust me! Save yourself time, energy and ink and purchase one. I got mine from Best Buy for about $70.
