Top 10 Nursing Supplies

Published

I start school in August. What would be your top ten things to buy before school starts in relation to school supplies. Not nursing essentials like BP cuff etc...just for studying and organization purposes. Thanks y'all :)

Are you guys ordering the lifestyle or lifestyle pro? What is the difference?

Thanks!!

Just the regular lifestyle. The pro has double the number of pages. So unless you have 8 classes at once, no need :-) I got mine yesterday and it was hard to not start filling in items!

As far as the notebooks go- not sure what kind of system ill develop for them.

I am taking 5 classes in the fall (2 have labs & 1 has a clinical). Is the regular enough room for that?

Yes! Plenty of space!

My Uncalendar was delivered yesterday:) I ordered the Lifestyle half size so I can put it in my purse and there is plenty of room on each page. I ordered the notebook too so I'll get to try it out when I start Biology next month.

Do you guys mind posting some pics of the notebook? Like with it open so I can see the page layout?

This is what the Day/Week section looks like. Then there's a section that has the months on a full page if you're wanting to look month-to-month and another section for note taking that looks just like their notebook paper.

Here's an overview of the Lifestyle Uncalendar in full size. It has quite a few pictures:

To cut down on things to carry, if you have a "smart device", it will have a calculator already!

Using a "smart device" is a great suggestion, however in the program I attend we aren't allowed to use them on exams. Only a plain old fashion calculator is allowed. Thankfully you can pick them up pretty cheap.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but always bring your brain. Coffee too.
