Bags for the workplace

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Hello! I'm a nursing student that's graduating in December, and I have an externship now. I am looking for a bag to bring with me to my externship.

The bag I have now for school is canvas, but I want something that's nylon (or similar) for my externship/future job because I want to be able to Cavi-Wipe it before I go home. It needs to be tall/big enough to fit a binder or clipboard in.

Any ideas? I found this: http://www.hopkinsmedicalproducts.com/product.jsp?path=-1|2756|5673&id=7359 and I know a lot of people like their products, but I'd really like something I could possibly personalize.

I have checked Etsy, but when I contacted a few sellers they said they weren't safe with bleach wipes.

Thanks!

I love my tote from ThirtyOne Gifts. And it's monogrammed!

I love Thirty One...my school bag I use is the Cindy Tote. But because it's cloth I worry about c. diff...which is why I wanted something nylon that I could wipe down, and I don't think Thirty One has anything like that?

I have the Zip Top Organizing Utility Tote. It seems to be "the bag" for nursing students and nurses around here. It's a canvas-type fabric but I think I could wipe it down if I needed to.

Specializes in nursing education.

Definitely get one with a zipper to reduce the risk of bringing insect pests home with you (more of a worry than c-diff where I work).

I'm currently OBSESSED with cinda b bags. Check out her website. They're similar to Vera Bradley, but they're made of a nylon fabric that is water and stain resistant...and totally cavi-wipe-able. She makes several tote bags that would be big enough for a clipboard, books, whatever you'd need to put in it. And they're made in the USA which is a plus!

P.s. I monogrammed all of my cinda b :)

Yep those are it! Both the horizontal tote and vertical tote have a laptop slot and are big enough to be school bags. I have the horizontal one and love it...some of my friends had the vertical one and loved it too! Can't go wrong :)
