Book Bag Question--

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Okay, I am ready to invest in a good book/work bag that will be able to get me through school and that I can use for work also. I have a LLBean boat tote, but it just isn't working for me (it has the short handles). I was looking around at school today but see that most were carrying their books or using the bag from the college (that is not big enough for more than a book and a notebook and maybe a 3 ring binder if that).

I am interested in opinions on what you are using and the pros/cons.

Thanks!!

I know it sounds silly but I use my carry-on luggage with wheels for my books! They are just way to heavy to be carrying on my back. I see alot of nursing students using the wheeled around backpacks! I think it's ideal.

Good luck in your choices!

I just bought a roller myself from TJ Maxx. Tomorrow will actually be the first time that I will be using. Working for a plumbing company at the moment. I am abit worried about the abuse I may get from the people I work with but I really do not care. Instead of taking two bags to work it will now be one roller. The bag is semi big but it helps keep me organized. I bought a Delsey they have nice bags.

A good bookbag that won't break your back is going to cost you around $40 to $50. You need to get the ones that have the additional padding and the double back straps...nursing books are very heavy, so you will need this support. I know that LL Bean has some good ones but college bookstores tend to carry the higher-end bookbags.

Tote-style bags concentrate the weight on one shoulder and that will start causing you back pain if you keep using it with heavy books.
