I start school in January and I was just wondering what things I will need that are crucial, and just basic supplies that people have found helpful. I'm a very organized meticulous person so I want to start getting everything little by little so I'm prepared.

Notebooks, folder/binders, PENCILS, highlighters, black ink pens, travel size Tylenol/Ibuprofen (you'll need it),backpack (I used the one on wheels), calculator (for drug dosage calculations), Tide stain remover pen, and stock up on vitamins so you don't get sick! Lol

5 hr energy worked better for me than coffee. Also Jolt gum for those times you can't leave class to get coffee or stretch.

As much portable stuff as you can find! Planners - you need at least one good one. Definitely recommend the backpack on wheels unless you want to have a bad back before you even graduate. Index cards - yea, you can never have too many of those either! You'll need them for studying and for making MedCards for clinicals and pharm. Keep some kind of protein/fiber bar with you to keep up your energy and wake yourself up during some boring lecture. Chap Stick is a good one, you will want it. Extra set of scrubs with you at clinicals just in case. Make sure you have your car all set up, spare tire, jack, jumper cables, etc. In case of car troubles. Good luck and congrats on getting accepted!
