pulli75 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I know they won't be sending us any info yet on the required medical equipment, but someone said there's sales on these things for the holidays? Does anyone know the specs of what we have to buy? (Stethoscope, otoscope, etc). There seems to be a lot of details and differences between these tools, so not sure what to look for. I was thinking telling friends and family to gift me these items but don't want to make a mistake on what is required. Also, anyone who sent their deposit, has it cleared yet? My check was delivered Oct 4th and still not deposited, just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmb5662 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 pulli, my check has not been cashed yet either. i do not know everything that we have to buy, but friends of mine that went to different programs had to at least buy a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, & opthamaloscope. i was thinking about buying those major items that almost everybody has to buy (regardless of what program they go to) & waiting until i get an official list to buy the rest. your stethoscope & opthamaloscope are going to be your most expensive purchases, so i would keep an eye out for deals on them (or at least free shipping!).

kmb5662 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 i am personally waiting for cyber monday to see if there's any steals :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli75 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Kmb5662 I agree with you, I was thinking about buying the same, but what type of stethoscope and opthalmoscope? I was looking around online and there seems to be a great variety and subtle differences between them. I really don't know which of these opthalmoscopes, stethoscopes etc to get, lol, does it matter?

kmb5662 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 i've heard a couple times that you should invest money in a good stethoscope & save on the opthamaloscope (unless you want to go into ENT) because you will hardly use it outside of school. most hospitals/clinics/offices have them in their offices. as far as what specific ones to get, i'm not really sure. i would do a bit of research online & see what will suit your needs and future goals. i know a lot of people like littmann stethoscopes, though.

FuturePAyjxoa Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi everyone!! Is there anyone that can tell me about this program? It's just that during our interview we did not have the opportunity to talk to any 1st or 2nd year students. In every other interview I've been to, I have talked to current students. Also, I don't know anyone in the program. If any of you know anyone from the program that has given you feedback/insight, can you please share this information? Thank you so much!

My friend graduated from the program last year and she didn't have anything negative to say about the program.. She described it succinctly as "amazing".... So i don't think we'll go wrong? I also heard that the staff and faculty genuinely care for each of their students and help as much as they can. Hope this helped.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePAyjxoa Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thank you so much!! I have to make a decision soon and I thought the program looked great. The only thing was not having the opportunity to talk to other students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle092 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yeah, I agree the program looked great. I've heard a lot of great things regarding the program, so I think if you choose Hofstra, you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reba2189 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I had everything submitted in early July and still haven't even heard back about the supplemental :/ I'm a bit worried because I have yet to hear back from most of the programs I've applied to so i don't really know what the delay is all about.... I feel like they would have rejected or offered me an interview by now so I don't really understand what is going on... anyone have any ideas for me??

FuturePAyjxoa Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You should contact the program. I had to do that for other schools and they got back to me quickly with an interview date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
