Bookbags
Remember to keep in mind the size of your laptop and the weight of your books. Make sure you like it since you will bring it everywhere.
The last to photos are the book bags that I have. My books are heavy and they have both held up. I have also used them for travel and they are amazing.

Scrubs have to be affordable and always refer to your school policy!
These are the scrubs I have worn for the last 3 years working in healthcare.

Shoes
Shoes are the most important since you will be on your feet more than what you think. Most of us have to replace our shoes every other term.
For most clinical sites you have to have white or black shoes. I stand by hoka for price and comfort. They even have wider options for those that need them.
