What is a good stethoscope to for a future nursing student?

Most important--you get what you pay for. Don't skimp on a $10 Nursemates 'scope. You won't hear what your instructor is trying to "show" you, and you'll get frustrated. \n\nGet a Littman. They are worth it, and have great warranties/service.

Go to a teaching hosp and become a student nurse,you can take the nursing exam,or join the Ambulance Service(demanding but a lot of job satisfaction).

Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, in the nursing field.  There are also medical-related jobs not involving direct patient care, like medical records, which I am going to school for right now.  Medical is definitely a good way to go, but always keep your own interests at heart.

well....since she's in school just learning and stuff...i think a basket of goodies would be great, you could maybe get her some things to relax after a hard day at school, cuz trust me...it can be pretty hectic some days. just some simple things like a calming CD, maybe a book or magazine to catch up on some reading, and hey, u can probably get her a book to read about her profession. you could even get her one of those time tellers that all the nurses wear...(i dont know if they sell that)..one of those really feminine nurse carry bags would be nice....a nice pen with a notepad for jotting down to-do's. these together or whichever way u like, should be pretty neat.

This is something you learn best through hands-on... but here's a couple of sites to help you. For most simple equipment like magnifying glasses or balance scales, use the package insert for details.\n\nhttp://www.ekcsk12.org/science/lelab/microscopeuselab.htm\n\nhttp://www.mdk12.org/instruction/curriculum/science/safety/safety.html

I think most medical students would have all the equipment they need by now (i.e stethoscope, coat etc).\n\nHow about something they can use on the job that will remind them of you when they are pulling double shifts etc!\n\nMaybe a nice fountain tip pen, or an original silk tie, a watch. Something sentimental.. get it engraved for something a bit more special.

Don't know where you would find one but don't stress. The written exam is mad easy. The practical exam is what trips people up. Just remember to wash your hands properly before and after. Good luck!

I had a school physical for band. They check eye, hearing, blood pressure, heart, reflexes, height and weight, it's not bad. They check on any areas where you've had injury if they need to.

There are a few cheaper colleges that have ultrasound.  Triton college in River Grove.  Wright College on Austin in the city.  College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn.\nYou can also just go into X-ray and then get cross trained at any hospital once you get a job there.
