What to bring on the first day of class

I'd say bring what told plus a notebook & pen, probably a folder in case they have handouts for policies, syllabus, etc.

Depends on your program whether laptops are permitted or discouraged. (My class had small desks and very few outlets so laptops were more of a hazard than a help and strongly discouraged. They were prohibited if they had recording capabilities)

I'd only bring the book they told you to, if you are concerned and wish to bring all of your books leave them in your car so if needed you can run out and get them but is likely that you won't need some of the books until later in the school year (such as specialty text books for pediatrics, mental health, etc)

Good luck and enjoy your first day of nursing school!

I personally don't prefer to bring my laptop to class anyway; I'd rather write out notes. Thank you for your input! I am excited and nervous about school.
