Clinical Bag with Muscles

Published

My clinical instructor required us to bring our care plan book, drug book, skills book, med surg textbook, stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, eye wear protection, notebook, and other equipment that goes into our lab coat. Believe me when I say we used it ALL during each clinical. I'm looking for a good sturdy bag. My Disney tote is struggling to carry all of it. Do anyone know of a good bag that can carry it all? It prefer lots of pockets and zipper to keep it closed.

I was also going to suggest LL Bean. Lots of options for bags & backpacks and they're super sturdy.

Boy Howdy - I am envisioning one of those "serious back-packer" rigs... with the big metal frame to distribute the weight on the hips rather than the back - LOL. Seriously, I know that it may be an ego-diminisher, but maybe you should consider something with wheels?
