Things to Shop for on Black Friday

Are you a PA student looking for a laptop for PA school? For PA school, you don’t need anything fancy. The ability to do word processing is a must, using a program like Microsoft Word. At some point, you’ll probably need PowerPoint to create presentations. Beyond that, you’ll use the internet to aid in your studying. If your program gives you access to up-to-date, it can be a resource for learning more about a specific topic, so you’ll need web browsing capability. As you’re most likely doing some traveling during rotations and studying in different places, it’s nice to have a laptop that you can take on the go, but beyond the basics, there is no need to get anything over the top. Check out this guide to laptops.

If you’re working as a PA and are doing a lot of telehealth visits, you might want to gift yourself a new set of headphones. The Bose Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones 700 are a top of the line headphone that is very comfortable if you’re using them all day and have a great microphone to keep your calls crystal clear. The top-quality sound comes with a matching price tag, and they don’t come with much of a discount. 

If you’re looking for something that is less expensive, and great quality, check out these Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones WHCH710N. They aren’t Sony’s best noise-canceling headphones, but they are still very nice and they come at a great price; usually $199.99, these are on sale for$88.99.

If you’re doing a lot of video conferencing or telehealth visits you might want to consider looking for a ring light to help create better lighting. Not everyone has the perfect lighting set up and if you notice you’re looking dark or are in the shadows this can help. They aren’t all that expensive and might go on sale during this time. 

It’s been a crazy year and it seems like it isn’t going to end here. Check out the recommendations above to get your holiday shopping done early and find the best deals for your video conferencing needs on Black Friday.
