20 Best Totes For Nurses (2022 Updated)

My daughter has just qualified as a nurse, and I wanted to honour her hard work. This bag tells everyone that she is a Nurse.

Very well made, strong, waterproof bag – lovely pattern with persons name & inspiring personality details on the cover. Bag zip’s closed so protect the contents & it all files into a zipped pocket. So good for the environment too.

Makes a great little personal gift.

This bag is amazing. It carries absolutely everything. I spilled salad dressing from my lunch inside the main pocket, and it cleaned out easily. There are many pockets, so you can be as organized as you want to be, or throw everything into the large pocket if you’re in a hurry.

I’ve used it for a carry-on when traveling as well as my everyday work bag, and have bought it as a gift also. Five stars for usefulness, quality, and value!!.

Lightweight, I love it. Perfect for me after working a 12 hour shift.

Excellent gift for my daughter . She said she gets lots of compliments about her bag .Some of the other nurses want one but they’re waiting for them to go on sale.

Bag is fine except I have a problem with the large zipper at times. Sometimes it makes it hard to zip close

Purchased for wife who needed a carry bag for necessities to have when getting infusions.

Bag has been great until this week. 6 months of use then the hangers for the long strap both failed this week and I had to buy replacement pieces. This hardware needs to be stronger.

I ordered this bag last week and I love it! I love how professional it looks and how it fits all my medical equipment. The sliver on this bag look like reflectors. I hope it is because when I’m walking to my car at night, it would be nice to let others know I’m walking about.

I am going to order a second one just in case I’ve had this for 10 years and it breaks. Who knows if they still sell this specific bag in a couple of years and I do love the design. A must have for all nurses.

I absolutely love my bag! I even appreciated the packing of it to be delivered. It has tons of pockets and the storage for paperwork is great! And it doesn’t open up so wide that everything falls out or is exposed.

And I thought it was a much nicer bag in person than in the picture. You will definitely feel better as a nursing student or nurse with a bag that is more personalized for you. Love it. Can’t say it enough- thank you! _x000D_ _x000D_.

I bought this bag in black during the 40% off sale Kate Spade is currently having. It’s honestly, however, worth the full price. First off, it looks super sleek and elegant from the outside. But what really sold me was it’s interior.

You have 3 sections to the bag and lots of neat organizational compartments. There’s even a slot for pens! I can easily fit my umbrella, wallet, toiletry bag, pens, phone, legal pads, and laptop. Because the bag is so cleverly designed, I can quickly grab whatever I need.

My former go-to purse, like most tote bags, was just one big empty bag. Not fun to go through to find the one thing you need, especially when you’re in a rush. Do yourself a favor and snag this bag while you can! You will not regret it!.

I love this bag! I have been looking for a good work tote for years and they usually just don’t have enough pockets. But this one has tons of pockets and makes it easy to organize everything! The only complaint I have for this one is that the shape of the bag is too narrow on the top, which makes it a bit difficult for carrying things like a water bottle, etc.

Also, I’m hoping the leather on the slip pockets will stretch out a bit, as the way they are stacked, the smaller front pockets are sort of useless if there is something in the pockets behind them because they are so tight.

I carry this bag to work daily and also traveled to a conference with it last week and it was great. It sat very nicely on top of my 360 rolling carry-on for easily moving though the airport and I was able to wheel both down the aisle of the plane in front of me without having a bag on my shoulder, bumping into folks.

Had to purchase a new bag for work and I picked this one for the laptop sleeve and multiple compartments (it was also on sale). The latch can be finicky if you overfill the bag and the pouch nearest you is a bit exposed, but it’s good for reaching in and quickly grabbing your phone or sunglasses.

There are other zipped compartments where you can store items if you need extra security (while traveling, for prescriptions, etc). It was certainly an investment, even on sale, but I purchased knowing I’d be using it almost daily with the hope that the leather will wear nicely over time.

I have two other leather Kate Spade bags purchased over a decade ago and they’ve held up well so I expect this one will too.

I love the Tangier Paisley pattern of this beautiful, large tote! It reminds me of eggplant with its beautiful colors! It is very professional looking and roomy to use as a work bag, with lots of space for my 11 x 14″ legal sized plastic envelope containing about a half inch of papers that I carry with me, my sweater, and snacks.

It also has room for a laptop if someone wanted to carry a laptop in it. I use the zippered pocket in the front for my eye drops (for dry eye syndrome) and anti-acid pills. One of the features I most love is the hidden secret pocket on top – I keep my sunglasses in there.

No more forgetting my sunglasses on my desk at work at the end of the day! Also, for my 20 minute walks to and from work, I am sometimes in bright sunlight and sometimes in the shade of tall buildings and I can just take off the sunglasses and slip them in the hidden pocket on top if I am in a shady area, or take them out to put on in a sunlit area.

I also like it that the tote bag is water resistant for a light rain, and I put it in the protective plastic cover it came in if there is a sudden downpour during my 20 minute walks. I would also like to mention that I bought the Campus Backpack a few months ago, also in Tangier Paisley and love that also – but this tote is a bit smaller and less bulky, so it is better for my 20 minutes walks to and from work.

But I have other uses for the Campus Backpack. Both the Tote bag and the Campus backpack are absolutely gorgeous, and both can be used for work, travel, school – many uses. I know I will have many happy years of using both!.

I ordered this bag to replace a Thirty-one bag that is peeling on the inside leaving pieces all over everything I carry. I use it to carry my swimming stuff to the YMCA so want waterproof. I have a few Vera Bradley bags and love them but this is a new fabric for me.

I struggled with picking the right size. This is bigger than I estimated but it is still great. I love the material. It is thick and sturdy without the applied layer on the inside which is the problem with my current bag.

This one should last a long time. The print is beautiful. Being dark I don’t anticipate any problem keeping it clean, while the pastel print keeps a touch of femininity. The inner net pocket on the inside is big enough to hold my phone, keys, and jewelry keeping it easy to find.

The outer pocket is almost hidden and waterproof. It is very big and zips closed. That pocket works great for comb, sunscreen, and even a few snacks if needed. The net extension will be good if I take the grandkids with me and have additional towels and clothes to add to my bag.

The handles are long enough to carry over the shoulder without being so long that the bag flops around. It is overall a great bag. a few inches smaller and I would call it perfect.

This bag is nice looking. However it is difficult to find things inside when used as a purse. In the case of this tote bag, a lot has been given to the untouchable, never-reduced, line of Harry Potter products.

They are not generally allowed to compete with other your other products when reductions take place. The color is great in this pattern. However, the characters are a bit difficult to pick out. The owl lining is great – too bad it’s not on the outside of something major in your line.

The bag was advertised as having a pocket for a wand. It took several tries to find it on the bag. It is not deep enough to carry the length of wand produced as Harry Potter styled wands. Cute idea but not for this bag and not at that depth.

I resent having to pay retail top for a non-competitive product. Owners of the trademark not allow for discounting? A troublesome cycle that eventually will defeat your best efforts. You’d probably tell me that the numbers show your plan works well.

But does it reward long standing loyal customers? I’m beginning to see a bit too much VB in my closet. After this purchase, I might slim it down. Who knows for how long.

Was happy with the quality, but my daughter’s nursing credentials were left off, even though I had “C1” listed. When they sent the preview it was not a picture of the bag so I thought I was just previewing the font.

They need to make the ordering process clearer. When I contacted them they said there was nothing they could do for me (automated response) because I had previewed it, just thinking I was previewing the font.

Maybe it was the “Christmas rush,” and C1 got overlooked. If you order from this seller, be sure you are very clear and spell out what you want on the merchandise.

I have been looking for a tote to take to class with me and to clinicals. Every bag I’ve tried was either too hard, not big enough, or just too big and everything kept rolling around. This tote is absolutely perfect! Not only have I received a lot of compliments on it, but it is exactly what I have been looking for! It’s pliable enough for me to be able to store in different spaces, and it’s not overly large to the point where all of my things roll around everywhere, but there is still enough room for me to be able to dig out what I need without having to empty out my bag! Absolutely the best bag!.

So cute! Love the design and the quality of the bag itself. As a Disney World addict, this is the perfect way to express my love for Disney while in nursing school. Such good quality, fast shipping, and the owner is so nice and really talks with you about what you want yours to look like.

Love love love!.

I’m a repeat customer – I bought a bag for myself 6 months ago (it’s still in mint condition, and it’s been through the fire – clinicals and 20+ lbs of books and a laptop haven’t loosened a single thread!) and wanted to gift one to a sweet young lady I know who’s about to graduate and begin nursing school.

I know the power of cute supplies; they really do give you a boost of confidence, and in a field like nursing, confidence is key. I know she’ll love this bag as much as I do. Thank you for your beautiful craftsmanship and your heart of gold! This seller is a delight to talk to and buy from.

♥\nPictured – my bag in the bag — “old”, yet looks brand new!, and the new bag in front.

These bags are just AWESOME! As a piano teacher myself, I do believe that any teacher would just love to have one of these!!! They hold all of our day to day music, and more. The quality of the bag and monogramming is just superb.

I just couldn’t ask for more. But, there was more. Monika is a wonderful, compassionate, and very talent woman. I am so happy to have made this purchase through her, and I just could not be happier!!!\n\nThank you!!!\nKaren G.

I really appreciated that she changed the color of the book to match the bag. I never asked her to do that, but she did. Made it look even better. The bag is not huge, but I think it’s adequate for a stack of papers that need graded or a lesson plan book and some papers.

Has nice pockets on the outside for additional storage. I’m hoping my future daughter-in-law loves it! I think it’s a great price!.

I am a Registered nurse and I am always carrying around some type of big bag to work with me. This bag looked much better on line when I ordered it but it 8s just okay. I will keep it but it’s nothing to write home about.

I bought this bag to bring my lunch to work in daily as well as my other necessary items. like My stethoscope! It’s a nice bag with good sturdy handle that won’t hurt your hand if the bag gets a bit heavy.

I love this canvas tote. Heavy and well built / constructed. I don’t like huge bags but this is just the right size to but my items needed for work.

Not what I was expecting

My customers LOVE the bags/totes, however, I wish there was a way to either back order or restock inventory.

Perfect size for every day use.

I 10/10 adore this bag. I have used it exclusively for nearly 3 years now and I have put it through a lot. 2 jobs, a degree, vacations and everyday catch all. The grain has gotten softer and more beautiful.

The pockets are thoughtfully placed and I use the straps to carry my yoga mat or a scarf on long trips. This bag is an investment but a drop in the bucket considering how long it will last, the functionality and the beauty.

I wanted to add a picture of my (rather thick) yoga mat threaded through the cargo straps but I can’t figure out how to add a photo. Buy this bag, do it (if you need a bag).

I found this bag to be so lovely and useful. It is perfect for work and school. It hold my books, computer, wallet and anything else I need for the day perfectly. I have had my tote for a little over two months now and it is wearing very nicely.

The quality of leather is great and, personally, think it looks great. The straps do tend to come off the shoulder a bit if I have to carry it for a period of time but as I wear it more the leather does seem to be softening a bit and I don’t have as much problems with it now that it is worn in a bit more.

The size is perfect for a school or professional setting and really does hold quite a bit. I would love to see more styles for smaller bags, like an everyday purse, but for work this has been my go-to.

I’m always reaching for this tote. We have a half dozen reusable bags and totes, but this is among the largest, most versatile in function and appearance. I’m trying to justify buying another, as this one is often still loaded up when I need to haul another load.

Thicker leather than other WP bags, appropriately. Looking forward to beating a patina into this bag with my kids and I abusing it for the next 20 years.

Great quality and great pricing

Perfect for monogram

Love my new tote! If you’re a bit of an organization-freak, as every nurse should be, this is the perfect bag! It fits my water bottle & umbrella on the 2 side pockets. One pocket fits 4 K-cups! \n(b/c caffeine is a necessity).

plus 3 other easy-access pockets for snacks & other on-the-go items. \nA must have! 😍.

I was extremely happy with the way this tote came out! It was a gift for my niece who graduated from nursing school. She is now an RN. 👩‍⚕️ She was so excited when she received it. I knew it was just perfect for her.

Thank you so much for the beautiful detailed work. It is perfect!!! 👌.

I love this bag, though it was a bit bigger in person than I’d thought it would be. It is certainly roomy enough to carry ANYTHING I need at work (lunch included). Friends are asking where they can get one.

I tell them, Uniform Advantage, of course! Love the catalog and all the items for sale. Always changing stock to keep up with “whats new. “_x000D_.

Durability is a plus, it”s very big & has many different compartments. Hand bag strap is convenient. Overall, I can use it as a small suitcase too!!

Love, love, love them! Perfect size, they look great and very functional. Only one gripe is limited colour- blue and pink, but other than that they are fantastic. Planning to get at least another couple!!!.

Looked small, but fits a lot of equipment, very happy with this item

Compact but enough space for my needs. Love it

Recently I purchased a Women’s Essential Tote bag in Mallard Green for my wife as a gift. It was our first purchase from Rothy’s and may not be our last – she really loves using it every day and we both are impressed by the quality of construction and clean, modern style.

She’s in love with the colors! She ironed out the shipping folds as instructed on the tag, and she loves how the bag stands upright by itself when placed on a surface. I think, functionally, a built-in water bottle strap on the inside would be a great addition since the interior volume of the bag is generous.

However, I feel I need to voice my constructive criticism concerning the packaging. Upon arrival, two of the box corners (short vertical edges) were torn open, so much so that a person could easily probe their finger inside the box and feel the fabric of the bag.

To discover the packaging is only just enough to survive the mail delivery transit process – considering the price of the bag – to me, is unacceptable. The bag was untouched, thankfully. Please consider redesigning your packaging for stronger reinforcement and adding another layer of protection between the bag itself and the outside box.

So far I am loving this bag. I busted the seams on my last Patricia Nash tote bag because I just need to bring too much stuff to work. This bag is sturdy! I take my iPad Pro, shoes, lunch, gym clothes, organizing pouches, water bottle, and the Rothy’s Belt purse everyday.

It stands upright whether packed full or not. It’s comfortable on the shoulder. I love that it can be zipped and slim when it’s not fully loaded. I bought the belt purse as well to throw in it, and loving that too.

I did buy Lily Jade zip pouch organizers, which are slim, and Thread slim wallets. My only wish is for one more pocket on the inside or outside for the phone. I keep the inside pocket clear for quick access things – AirPods, a pen, an emergency mini flashlight, or the thread wallets.

All my other odds and ends are in the Lily Jade organizers. I have already gotten so many compliments on the color.

I have several pairs of Rothy’s shoes and absolutely love them! I purchased the Ink and Ivory clutch in November and received gift cards so I could purchase the matching essential tote. When it arrived, I was so excited and could not wait to use it! The tote is a bit heavier than I expected (without contents) so when I add the laptop, planner, make up bag, wallet, phone, and keys, it is even heavier! The clutch holds my wallet, phone, and keys, which makes It so convenient.

Although the small zippered pocket in the tote is nice to hold my phone (if it isnt in the clutch), I do wish there was a key-ring strap attached somewhere in the interior for no-lost and easier access to keys.

(I am an educator and keep my work keys separate from my car/house keys. ) Of course, I love that the bag can be laundered. This purchase came with a dust bag and a laundry bag. The fact that it can be washed makes it worth every penny!.

This is the second bag I bought from OpaStitch as a gift. The first bag I bought was a bag for a nursing student who uses it for her clinicals and such. She’s still using the bag over a year later. This most recent bag is for a student who is planning on becoming a teacher.

I even left a note asking the seller if they can change the text color on the bag to pink and they did. Thank you, OpaStitch.

This was my first ever purchase on Etsy so I was pleasantly surprised. Amazing bag at an amazing price! Very good quality embroidery and such a cute design. Shipping was quick and bag even got here quicker than anticipated.

Would def purchase again from seller in the future.
