What comes in a nurse/lab pack?

I start school in January and I know I need a stethoscope, penlight, blood pressure cuff, and eye measure along with all my books, supplies, etc. I also need a nurse pack, and I was just wondering what comes in those?

Its best to wait and see what the school supply you with first then get ur supplies. Our school gave up stethoscope, scissors, , clinical uniforms, netbooks

Yes, i agree wait to see what the school says/supplies. For my LPN all i needed was stethoscope, and they recommended ( I as well recommend a pen light). Then we had to buy a nurse tote that they prefilled with needles, syringes, fake meds, iv starter kits, iv bags, trach kits, catheter kits, ng tubes, sterile gloves and gown, ECT. Anything that you can and will use at lab.

Would you suggest I buy my own stethoscope instead of using what is given? I've heard the ones they give us are cheap and I want to make sure I have a good one.

Littman are the best.

I have heard that as well that Littman is the best, I found the one I want on amazon, maybe I will treat myself as a Christmas gift!!

I agree with everyone to wait and see what the school supplies you with. Usually, the school does give you cheap stethescopes but Ive never had a problem with them and my teacher wind up giving my clinical group good ones.

Littman is excellent, my parents bought me one as a graduation gift.

I would wait on the stethoscope. You may get a good one a friend of mine got a Littman from school. I start December 30th and I am so excited I want to go buy things too. But I am going to wait to see what they give me at orientation tomorrow before I go on a shopping spree. :)

I've never heard of a school giving stethoscopes.....definitely not Littman.

So I went to orientation today and let me just say I will be buying a lot. I got a BP cuff and a stethoscope but it is soooo cheap! I already have a littman so I'm good on that end but I will go buy my own pen light, scissors etc...

My school gave stethoscopes then my auntie just brought me a Littman for Christmas. We also go pen light, gloves, bandaids, scissors, bandages, catheter kits, insulin syringes plus a lot more. It was our skills kit for fundamentals. We start January 6.

Yes that was what we got too. We bought it but that was paid for with our seat deposit for the program.
