Don't buy anything until you talk to the class ahead of you. You won't need it on day 1. Once you know what you need, use amazon, it'll show up tomorrow.
The only things I use regularly are my stethoscope, pen light, $1 reflex hammer, and the Snellen chart on Maxwells.
Buying a PB cuff, otoscope, various other tools really is a waste of money.
the Maxwell quick reference is handy from time to time. otherwise, i use uptodate or epocrates on my phone.
Maxwell's is a must.
These clipboards are also extremely useful on the wards.
Towards the end of my third year I began to REALLY value my kindle. The 6" e-ink one fits easily in a white coat pocket. You can upload pdfs (i.e. relevant papers) and books to study from (i liked pretest).
What I started with: Stethoscope, sphygmomanometer or a sphygmomanometer for the lazy, pulse oximeter, reflex hammer, tuning fork, a pen light, notebook, Maxwell, pocket medicine, clipboard, 48 pens (of which I somehow only have 2 left), and finally a pack of decoy pens to hand out to people that need to "borrow" a pen but never give back.
Seriously where do all of my pens go??? It turns out half them went into my gf's bag x(.
What I was given or picked up along the way: scalpel, needle drivers, tweezers, scissors, various types of vicryl, bandages, gauze, alcohol wipes, surgical lube (that I took from the hospital when no one was looking ;) ), and a pocket CPR mask. I took a bunch of normal saline and IV kits as well but they don't fit in the bag.
