Hello! I will be starting my first semester of nursing school in January and I need a backpack. I am deciding if I should get a rolling backpack or not. Give me advice!!!

I was thinking about a Zuca Bag, but from reading these posts I might not need it as much as I thought. Has anyone used the Zuca for nursing?

Add another to the rolling backpack supporters... 9 books last term! PLUS all my equipment, folders, etc.

I carry a Vera Bradley tote. I have two different sizes depending on how much I need to carry on a given day. I think it can be a misconception that nursing students carry all of their books every day. I don't have all of my classes on the same day, so I only take what I need which consists of my iPad, NCLEX book, and textbook (depending on the class and how much it's utilized during lecture). I don't think there's a single person in my nursing class who has a rolling backpack if I'm being honest... :-)

I just graduated. I had a rolling backpack for the first year then switched to a traditional. I never took more than a laptop and notebook to class, there was no reason for us to bring our texts to class.
