scissors I have always favored the ones that can cut anything, but do not have a sharp tip. Love the ones that Key Surgical makes. Actually even keep two pairs in my kitchen for food. One for cutting meats, and one for other fruits and vegetables. Get a few pairs.................And they are actually quite cheap..........................

Yes, scissors were on our "to buy" list also. Also was a watch with a second hand, Kelly clamp, nursing shoes, etc.
For study supplies, I'm considering a laptop and PDA. I have to travel an hour each way, and if the weather gets bad (snow, etc.), I will stay with a friend of mine who lives near the school. With a laptop, I'll be able to complete homework and stuff.
I agree with above though - I LOVE my 3-hole punch!! LOL

I'm just wondering what you all can recommend to buy in advance of starting school? I've got scrubs on my list (school allows you to buy your own!), shoes, stethoscope, paper/pens etc...
Anything else I can buy up front?
