Should I be buying my equipment from now

[Mario876]

Just a few weeks away from my NREMT and I Wanna start getting use to my tools so I'm wondering if I should start purchasing my stethoscope and other equipments. .....if so what are the best ones to get ......What else will I need ????

Stethescope yes. Littmann Classic II is a good one to start with. Shears. Cheap and easy to find. MAYBE bp cuffs depending where you get hired, I was required to. Oh and pens. Like 10,000 pens.

Lol... Nice man.. Congrats. I have a littman as well. Love it. Worth it. Mine is all black and was like 90 bucks. 10,000,000 pens.....a good clear analog watch. Can't beat it. silicone straps so is easy to clean. I buy my own pen lights in bulk and my own eye protection. I get hassled sometimes, until they realize I am right to wear them on the "bad ones."
