Female Student Nurses Backpack Rules

Hey ladies,

This post is geared toward the women that are student nurses. I am about to start my nursing program and I do not want to carry two bags around. So, I am still deciding between a book bag and a shoulder bag. My question is what is the must have items that I should carry around with me (example: hand sanitizer, hand lotion, etc.).

Book bag worked just fine for me, the little pouch in the front allowed me to carry around my wallet and any other little items I might have needed. I just kept a little pack of tissues in there, some hand lotion, hand sanitizer, gum, a little snack, always kept some water in my bag, pens pencils, and some candy to help keep me awake during class! Only bring what you really need. You'll have enough stuff that you will need to carry around.

Good Luck!

I've use a rolling bag and a backpack. Both worked fine, and I would tuck my wallet in the front pouch. Personally I preferred the backpack. As far as extras I carry, I have sanitizer, lotion, ibuprofen, tums, chapstick, a couple tea bags, a snack, and water.

I tried doing the shoulder bag thing at first but found it to be impractical and painful due to how heavy nursing textbooks are. Currently I use a book bag and it's perfect for me. In the main pouch I'd have a binder with ppt printouts, a notebook and whatever textbook I was studying that day. In the side pocket I'd keep an umbrella and waterbottle. And in the front pouch I'd have pencils, pens, highlighters, sticky tabs for highlighting important things in the ppts/reading, quarters if I needed a caffeine fix and hand sanitizer.
