this is the bag I bought for Nursing School. I was going to spend $150 and get a ZUCA rolling bag, but decided I wanted a nicer stethoscope, so I bought this for $25! I has a hide away for handle, laptop holder inside, and front and side pockets. Anyone use anything like this? It's really big! I hope it works great! What do you love/recommend as far as bags for nursing school goes?

I use a Timbuk2 laptop messenger bag - which I love and is a great size. I'm not sure why you would need such a huge bag. Do you need to bring a large number of books to class every day?
Most folks in my cohort use backpacks or messenger bags.
Well my school is an hour and a half one way from my home is I would have to bring quite a hit plus I'm carpooling

MrsPriss: That is such a CUTE bag.
I decided to go with a SAMSONITE rolling bag. I am sure it will have to take a lot of abuse....and use.
Here is mine. It is huge! LOL I had a $95 gift certificate to Amazon, so was able to get it for about 40 bucks. I love it.

With a long commute and long days, you may be glad you got such a big bag! I've had terms where I really needed a huge bag and others where I could get by with my backpack.
My only suggestion is to be cognizant of the size of your bag, particularly with regards to how much it may block walkways/aisles in classrooms. No one likes having someone else's conveniently huge bag become an tripping hazard/inconvenience to them. During the terms that I've needed my huge bag, I had some classrooms where there simply wasn't room for me to put it in a seat next to me to keep the aisles free. In those cases, I chose seats near the front (or back) so I could place my bag along the front (or back) wall where it would still be within my line of sight then I would just take what I needed for that class to my seat.

LL Bean backpack that I use mostly for clinical - our professors don't ask us to drag our books to class so I mostly just take a binder...
