I have a friend whose daughter just turned 18 and will be entering the nursing program at our local college. So I was looking for something along that line when I came across this 'Complete Diagnostic Nurse Starter Kit'. And it lives up to it's name in every way. The equipment is not cheap plastic replicas, but fully functional, built to use, gear. It is every thing it says it is. A fully functional, diagnostic kit that will aid the training of future nurses for whatever field they choose. It is also ideal for 'at home' testing and diagnostic purposes. Definitely an asset for a wide variety of purposes.
