Default Re: Essentials for new student midwives

well i bought a stethoscope and sphyg but i've not needed them but they came in handy to practice on anyone that came round our house at the beginning of training plus they were cheap, the only thing I would say is a printer that won't cost the earth in ink if you go mad with the print button as I often do, good pens lol have to have the grippy type-its just me. Also a text book such as myles/mayes that is on the assumption that those are th ones you'll be using, buy a good anatomy and physiology book, stables is a good one, but wyle is great for starting out, its more simplistic, whereas stables i think can be a bit heavy (at times). Subscribe to a journal as well start getting ideas on your local hot topics, otherwise we don't have to buy anything, we have a websit here that does free VE guides if you don't have access to anything like that PM me your address and I'll send you that and a wheel free of charge x
