I start nursing school in the fall and I'm looking for a bag like the Thirty One tote bag for school. Anyone have any suggestions??
They would be greatly appreciated!

I almost started a topic like this cuz I want a bag for work. Have you thought about getting a backpack? I used a backpack for classroom days and a regular totebag for clinical days. What about getting the actual 31 bag?
I don't like backpacks and I wouldn't mind one of their bags but I don't like any of the patterns and I would like something with more pockets and a little bit cheaper.
I'll let you know if I see anything online. LL Bean makes a bag called the "boat tote" or something. It comes in like 4 different sizes but I'm not sure if it features pockets. :)

I bought a Vera Bradley bag for 50% off. I wouldn't normally spend that much on a school bag, but I also use it for everything else, whether it be taking it to work or on a vacation. The Vera style is big, has tons of pockets, and it very sturdy and tall. I'm planning on using it for the next 50 years

I second a Vera Bradley bag. I used the Vera for the last year or so and I just replaced it with the pleated tote last week and I LOVE it. The Vera was very roomy but it actually was a little too big for what I needed and it didn't zip. The pleated tote has worked perfectly so far.

Vera Bradley is great. Well made with tons of pockets. You can also machine wash them, which I have done several times even with purses and large totes. I buy from Vera Bradley once a year, online, and only for what prints are 50% off. Signing up to their e-mail gets too a coupon also.

I just use my north face backpack that I used for school now. It's easier when you float because super inconvient to get to the float pool breakroom.
But but for school used this one because all I really need was something to keep a pullover and a few reference books in.
