I have been a hospice RN for about 3 months now, and am working on improving a few things. One of the main things I want to improve is the way I carry all of my paperwork and equipment. Working out in the field is completely new to me. As of now, I have an oversized tote with two separate sides, one for paperwork and one for my stethoscope, BP cuff, pulse oximeter, thermometer, etc. As my caseload grows, it's becoming a hassle to carry this bag around all the time. I know I also need something with three compartments to be compliant with state requirements. Ideally, I also want it to be something that looks nice, as we wear business casual as our work attire.
The other day I saw an RN with another hospice who had a bag that seemed perfect, and I should have asked where she got it but I was busy. It was a rolling caddy, with at least a couple of side zipper pockets on the outside. When you unzipped the main compartment, the flap could be attached to the telescoping bars behind it to hold it open as you work. The flap also had multiple clear zipper pockets for pens, paper clips, etc. The main compartment seemed very spacious, allowing at least two if not three compartments.
Any suggestions on a bag similar to this? I haven't had much luck so far searching online. Or does anyone have any suggestions for a different bag?
