What "must haves" does a student nurse need for school?

Published

My daughter is starting nursing school in the spring and even though I am a nurse, I have forgotten all of the necessities that helped me survive nursing school (except Vicks Vapor Rub - people in my clinical's offered me $$$ for just a dab LOL!!) I am planning on stocking her up at Christmas, so any and all ideas would be great!! Thanks!!

I think so, I found the people who were really supportive like that knew that I would really care about taking care of people and it wouldn't be just because it was my job to do so. Those people saw that "something" in me or knew my ethics and qualities as a person would help me be a really caring nurse! It really is a big compliment from them because you will be the kind of nurse they would want taking care of them if they were ill! Good luck to you!! By the way, by your username I see you might be from Charleston in SC?? If so, we are "neighbors" as I live just south of you in Beaufort, SC :))

Thanks for the advice! I start on Monday so I'm using the advice (Vicks Vaper is the best).

She's going to Technical College of the Lowcountry to get her ADN and then enrolling in Univ. of Texas Arlington RN to BSN online. Are you going to MUSC or Trident?
