Nursing students and nurses fresh out of school know this all too well: a good backpack is one of the most essential items in any medical professional\u2019s toolkit! Between heavy textbooks, personal equipment, an extra set of scrubs, your lunch – the material requirements of getting through an average day at school or the hospital can weigh on you! And having a sturdy, ergonomic bag that\u2019s easy on your body can make all the difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Every Nurse Needs a Good Backpack<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a little refresher on relevant anatomy: your spinal column consists of 33 distinct bones known individually as \u201cvertebra\u201d. Between each vertebra is a soft pad made of collagen called a \u201cdisc\u201d, which acts as a natural shock absorber, and keeps our backs flexible. Too much weight held on one side of the body can cause the spine to bend inappropriately, resulting in impacted discs, chronic pain, and other long-term injuries. Similarly, a low-quality backpack which doesn\u2019t distribute weight correctly can force us to lean either too far forward or back while wearing our bags, and may cause pain and injury in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep your spine in top condition and your back pain-free and flexible, nurses should invest in a high-quality backpack which is designed for comfort and optimum support. Have you given this lecture to a tote-fanatic before? As a nurse, you have special insight into the everyday activities which can either keep a body healthy, or hurting. For students, nurses, or anyone with a heavy load on their shoulders, a good backpack which distributes the weight of your belongings evenly across your shoulders is a must-have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
