For those of you who are packing all of your travel nursing needs into one bag, here’s a packing list for you to consider. As much as I love the idea of packing my own things, I always feel a little inadequate when I have to take on all of these things. I am so thankful to have the ability to pack it all into one bag, but I wouldn’t go through all of it.
I think the hardest part about packing is that you end up needing to pack all of the things you need to do something, but you don’t really know where to start. I recommend taking a look at the packing lists at the Travel Nursing Association or the Travel Nursing Association of America website. These lists give you a great idea of what size bags/bags to pack and how much you can fit into them.
The best way I found to find out how much stuff I could fit into my carry on was to look at the packing list at the Travel Nursing Association website. I think it might only contain the one bag, but I found that I could fit more into it than I thought.
I believe that the best way to determine what size bagsbags to pack is to do the math. A good rule of thumb is to get the approximate volume of the bag and divide it by the approximate volume of the item you’re packing. For example, a standard sized backpack is 3” x 6” x 12″. If you pack a 10lb. bag, that’s a volume of 40 cubic inches. So if you pack a 20lb.
bag, its volume is 60 cubic inches. So if you pack a 20lb. bag, you can only pack two 20lb. bags in the pack.
Because a 20lb. bag is only 2.5 cubic feet, and a 20lb. bag is only 12 cubic feet, the 20lb. bags aren’t even going to be as heavy as a 10lb. bag.
Another way to see how much space you will actually need is to divide the total volume of the item you want to be packed by the total volume of the item you are packing. For example, if you want to pack a 5lb. bag, youll need enough space to pack two 5lb. bags. If you want to pack a 10lb. bag, youll need enough space to pack two 10lb. bags.
The 5lb. bag is a 20lb. bag, so using the above example, youll need to pack 2.5lb. bags to be able to pack a 5lb. bag. The 10lb. bag is a 20lb. bag, so using the above example, youll need to pack 2.5lb. bags to be able to pack a 10lb. bag.
It’s also recommended that you pack your medical supplies and medications in a separate box, and not in the bag with the rest of your electronics and accessories.
In the above example, I recommend packing medications in a separate box because the majority of the medications in this list would be sensitive and may get damaged if they’re in the same bag as other items.
