I had to do a drug test, I didn't have to have a physical but I did have to prove I was up to date on my vaccines (we were provided a list of specific required vaxes) and yes I did do a TB test.
The only thing we "had" to have for class was the classroom book. The workbook was an optional purchase, there were a few extra credit assignments from the workbook but the instructor made those pages available for people who did not purchase the workbook.
I did buy a Littmann stethoscope, but it was NOT a required purchase. I knew I'd want one of my own eventually, so I figured I'd just go ahead and get one. The school had all the gear we needed for class in the classroom, stethoscopes, cuffs, etc. There was no *need* to buy any of it.
We didn't have a uniform.. For our clinicals we were required to wear either black or navy pants (not jeans) and a white collared shirt with no logos. Shoes had to be plain black without logos or embellishments, no boots were allowed for the hospital hours.
