How many of you all use rolling bookbags in nursing school? Is it worth it and what kind do you use? I can't find any nowdays.Thanks :)

I sure do use one. It is crazy how heavy our textbooks are. You can find them at walmart with the luggage. Good luck to you:)

I don't use one.

I have one, but since I still had to carry the thing up and down stairs....and the wheel structure just made the bag heavier, it ended up making my back more sore than my good hiking pack (with chest clip and waist belt).

I use one. It's from LL Bean. It's not big enough and there is not a pocket for my water bottle. Other than that, I like it because it's rugged and the handling is stable.

Some of my classmates use these gargantuan totes that are on wheels. Those may be large enough, but there isn't a pocket for my water bottle, and I don't know if they would be water resistant/proof enough to protect my books and laptop.

I don't use one. You won't be taking every one of your text books every single day. I hate when people bring them in and roll over my toes with them, plus for people to get them inbetween the rows of chairs you have to stand up and push your chair in because they are so big and annoying. I don't even carry a back pack, I take my notebook, text book, 1 highlighter, 1 pencil, and 1 pen. Seems to work for me, and I don't have a lot of junk to carry.

I have a Jansport rolling book bag that I got from ebags.com. I take it with me to clinical or when I'm traveling.
