[greysanatomyfan]

I got accepted into CACC RN program starting in the fall and wanted to know what anyone recommended I buy for starting nursing school. Schools supplies and nursing supplies....whatever you recommend.....anything will help.

Thanks in Advance

There's a really extensive thread on this if you look in the student forum. It's up at the top under "threads of continuing interest" I think. It's called "Things you will need for nursing school" or something like that. Hope this helps... Oh and congrats on getting into nursing school! :balloons::)

I recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/All-One-Care-Planning-Resource/dp/0323044166/ref=pd_sim_b_5

You won't use it as much during your first semester(so you might hold off until 2nd semester) but each semester afterward, it will come in handy. There is a care plan book on the required books list, but more than one resource for your concept maps is a good idea.

- go ahead and buy a couple of reams of printer paper and some extra ink cartridges unless you live close to a kinko's because you'll be printing alot of stuff.

- get a stethoscope that YOU hear well with. Some people have great results with the sprague style, while others find Littmans to work better for them. I use a Littman Lightweight II SE...it's not a high end scope but I hear well with it.
