Hey guys,I'm in the spring RN program and just found this thread! In the email for the textbook bundle, he says that it will ship right away even though the website says its prepublished, I ordered mine already and the rest I think I will order from amazon... I am going to get a Littman stethoscope because I can get my name printed on it so I dont mix it up with anyone elses...is anyone going to buy a sphygmomanometer from the SNO link?

Also, is this the target shirt we are supposed to buy? tops, activewear, women's clothing, women : Target

Do you think it is ok to wear a Nike dryfit shirt instead of this? At the intake meeting it sounded like any white athletic long sleeve round neck would be ok but this is one the faculty found or no?

You totally read my mind. I'm doing the exact same thing! Yes I think I will order my cuff from the SNO link, and just get a Littman stethoscope : ).... I'm just fuzzy about where to get the shoes I've looked everywhere I can't find any ALL WHITE. : /

Do we need to purchase our own cuff?

From what I remember from intake, you will purchase a bag that has everything in it. You need this for the lab and have to buy it.

I bought all white original Adidas and I love them! When I started I remember I made the mistake of getting some Danskos and I hated them! :( they are too heavy and too expensive! also Remember to get compression socks because you'll be on your feet all day! You'll hate your feet soon if you don't ;)

Hey guys! I got into the program too woot woot! So I'm actually a bit frustrated I've had the Hep B series done twice and I'm still not immune. I'm taking the series again and I really hope 3 is the magic number. Anyway I can't seem to remember since I'm retaking the series when can I upload it to ADB and be able to register?

What cuff are you going to get? They have two different ones and I'm not sure what one would be better? The palm one or the pro aneroid? I don't know if it makes a big difference..I mean I guess both are fine because it was on the link?
