Ok, I am REALLY late on this, but thats the way things are for me these days...
For my EMT'B class, we had to carry on our person for every clinical rotation (and our instructors checked to make sure we had it ALL before we were assigned to a rotation):
Name Badge
Stethoscope (mine was purple)
Pen Light (mine was purple)
2 ink pens (black, no blue - red - green -or whatever color)
3 pairs of glove
1 pair of non-latex gloves (mine were purple)
OSHA approved eye protection
a Red BioHazard bag
a CPR mask, with one way valve and the case to carry it in (my case was...Purple)
Trauma Shears (mine had purple handles)
Our CRP card
a small note pad (there was to be NO writing on gloves, and if we did, our preceps would take our gloves away and make us put on new ones) (OH...and guess what color mine was)
Our EMT Course shirt. It was a gray polo, with the star and the words PJC EMT-B Student under it in yellow
Blue or Black pants. I had the ones with the pockets on the sides.
Black shoes. I personally bought the Magnum brand. With the zipper on the sides.
Black socks.
Hair had to be pulled back if it was shoulder length with a black "hair thingy"
Now, what did I use on my clinicals out of all that crap. Of course my uniform (I wore it),ink pens, and my stethoscope. Everything else was either on the rig or in the ER where I was assigned.

I'm doing well in my class; I only carry my PDA, backpack, books, notebook, and pen to class, unless specified to bring my stethascope or CPR mask, I don't. I carry as minimal as possible. I probably will when I get into my ED clinical hours, and my ridealongs as well. 
It's very handy, but the best thing I've found is the ability to easily keep track of dates lol.
