counting my chickens before they hatch

i'm just so dang anxious.
so, here are some nurse-y things i'm into (whether i get in this semester or 5 years from now):

1. bed number ten

Seen through the eyes of a patient totally paralyzed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, this moving book takes you through the psychological and physical pain of an eleven month hospital stay. Bed Number Ten reads like a compelling novel, but is entirely factual.
(side note: my dad had Guillain-BarrĂ© when he was young--i don't know much about it but i guess he's really lucky that it was acute)



2. this stethoscope + nametag color combo 


it's between seafoam green and pine green on the stethoscope. i am really wanting a littman (even though it's totally unnecessary and i could get a package deal from prestige medical for thirty dollars less. 

but that button for my nametag is super cute, right? 
you can get yours here :)




3. a digital voice recorder


i'm thinking a good study habit for me would be to re-listen to lectures. i know this would have helped me in microbiology! there's just so much information you have to absorb. 
this model is a little pricey (around $50) but it has USB, a memory card slot, and i can listen to it through the speakers in my car!





4. a watch




i am leaning toward a white watch. this one is cool because beyond the regular numbers is military time!
