I’m not disorganized. I’m reorganized. ?

While this site was on hiatus I upgraded my bag I use in home health to a Hopkins Mark V. I’ve just now got it filled with much the same but there are MANY more pockets in this new bag than my older and smaller Hopkins bag I had. It’s been great. Except when going to every clients house they all keep saying, “You’re so disorganized, are you okay?” ? I stop and explain it’s a new bag, etc. Blank stares. My clientele are largely adult psych clients with some medical mixed in. I just find it humorous they are suddenly A+O when I just happened to have reorganized into a new bag. ?

I have all this extra space and bought these ziploc inserts they sell which have come in VERY handy. It fits all my dressing supplies.

I carry: dressing supplies, bandage scissors, steth, BP cuffs, PulseOx, pill splitter, thermometers, client paperwork, scale, space for waste, sharps container, syringes, batteries, extra pens, sharpies, NS gloves, and wipes.

Anyone else reorganize themselves then look disorganized for a few days? ?

Just wanted to say I've marveled at that Mark V bag even though I have no requirement for one. One day might just buy it for GP.

is the Mark 5 bag heavier? I can imagine hanging it on a doorknob....

It’s heavier. Easy to shoulder carry but too heavy for a door knob.
