Nursing book bag..help!

Believe me, you will not want to carry all your books at one time if you don't have to. You will figure out a system to only carry what you need for that day.

I got a large book bag on wheels from Amazon. I start the 25th as well. I'm not sure it will hold all of my books at once, but it will save my back big time.

I bought a bag on wheels & it only carries 2 books & a binder. I'm sure I'll need more than 2 books for a day.:/

Some people remove their texts from the binding and only carry the chapter(s) that they are working on for the present unit test. Others purchase the online versions of the text and use that in the classroom. If you use your car to commute, you can keep the books in your car and go to the car in between classes to exchange books as necessary. Other examples of how to handle this.

Thanks, I was thinking the car idea too.

Mine will be staying in the car and I will just be taking the ones I need in. I just could not bring myself to get a huge rolling backpack. They look so bulky and like a giant trip hazard.

Good day, mmcherrry:

I use a laptop bag (no laptop in it; the extra compartment helps) from ebags.com to carry several books; the rest stay in a box in the trunk of my car for switch out when needed.

Thank you.

We don't ever use our books in class. Do you need them in class?

This should just about do it.

I like the car idea. I live where it snows alot so the rolling backpacks would not work for me when it snows.

I just got a crate at Walmart for $4. I put it in my trunk.

The rolling book bag isn't nearly big enough.
