Terrified.... I guess that is the best use of terminology for what I feel as well. :eek:

Specializes in Cardiology.

Starting August 30th. I bought a binder, filler paper, notebook, my text (obviously,) a student planner, a voice recorder to replace my old one, index cards, new pencils, etc.... I also searched all over the place to find a wheeled backpack that seemed durable and would accommodate my computer and several big heavy books. I ogled some gorgeous J. World bags, but finally settled on a plain blue bag. I also bought my required school uniform, name tag, stethoscope, and scissors. Orientation is in a few days- I'm sure they'll tell me then what else I need.

I'm curious. Is that "text" singular??

Hi Everyone,

I begin the ASN nursing program on August 23rd. My classes are nursing fundamentals lecture/lab/clinical, nursing pharmacology, and medical-surgical lecture. Medical-surgical lab and clinical begin the first week of October.

I have all my books, supplies, calender organizer, stethoscope, BP cuff, and uniforms. After reading many threads so far here, I purchased a Saunder's review book to study throughout the nursing program. I also decided on a rolling tote from a hobby store after reading the nursing gear thread. I hope it performs well through the snowy parking lot this winter.

I obtained my health provider CPR/AED certification in June 2010 and attended orientation in July. Now, I just need to hem my uniform scrub pants for Monday.

I felt so excited in June when I received my acceptance letter. Now, I feel excited and anxious at the same time. I wholeheartedly desire to be a good nurse in the end.

Best wishes to everyone here! :)
