I'm making my supply list today for next year and even though I have a very generous budget I find that the supplies are almost double on a few medical supply websites.
Who do you order from and what's your budget?

Mine are ordered from school health mostly, a few from Moore medical and a few from Henry Schein. Find out who has your state contract to get the best prices.

I order mostly from MacGill. I also search amazon for some deals, and buy stuff like laundry soup and lotion from our local dollar store.

MacGill. I have found them to be the best price. I have to go to a couple different places for some things. Like dental mirrors.

We have a contract with school health and a local compounding pharmacy for OTC meds. I really just buy everything off amazon and get reimbursed though. It's significantly cheaper and I don't mind putting the money forward, but I would never blame anyone who didn't want to.

I use Moore for basic supplies (gauze, syringes, bandages, etc). But for more expensive supplies I shop around because Moore's prices are very high.

We are a private school so I can bargain shop locally for some of my supplies.
I order a large portion of my clinic items from MacGill. The rest I get locally from Sam's Club and Walmart.
Well just order $1900 worth of items from School Nurse Supply. My order includes my new "Audiometer" no more borrowing (happy girl). Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Monday morning all little friends will be back:yes:.

I order from MacGill, and buy what I can't get from them from the grocery store or Wal-Mart. I get $600 per year to spend on 800 students. Therefore, I end up spending my own money on snacks, hand soap, air fresheners, etc.
