Walk into any health facility, and you will realize how important a medical watch is for nurses or doctors. While they can serve many purposes, they are crucial in tracking different essential activities. A nurse’s routine may involve checking a patient’s vitals, giving medications as well as creating lab charts and pain monitoring. Doing all of these requires strict clockwork. Bear in mind that it’s not just one patient. So, how many times a day will you check your smartphone if you are a nurse without a watch?

Best Watches for Nurses 2020
Throughout the day, nurses use their watches for several different tasks. This ranges from keeping time to tracking various activities. Their work is usually time-critical. Some patients typically take medication at different intervals requiring the nurses always to be punctual. That’s why it is essential to get the best watches for nurses.
Some of the critical tasks that nurses and medical doctors undertake include:
- Keeping track of vitals
Nurses regularly monitor patients to ensure their vitals are improving. This determines what medication to give plus the status of the patient. The vitals mostly observed include the respiratory rate as well as the apical pulse rate. Both of these require accuracy. Therefore, a second hand is essential.
-
Giving medication
Some patients take their medication at specific intervals. Such medication requires the nurses to keep track of time when the medicine is administered and the patient’s reaction over a specified period.
-
Monitoring a patient’s pain levels
Nurses usually monitor a patient’s pain level to determine whether the medication is working. Pain could be an indication that the drug is not working as required or deeper underlying problems. The length and intensity of the pain over a certain period are crucial for the patient’s future records.
-
Documentation
Since nurses work in shifts, they always document the activities of the patient and the time so that the next nurse or doctor is in the loop. This avoids overdosing patients or missing their medication at the appointed time. It also allows the doctor to assess the patients' progress.
What Should You Consider When buying a Nurse & Medical watch?
Now that we know why a nurse’s watch is critical, there are a few guides on getting one for yourself. These include.
Design
An excellent medical watch should have a second hand for an added level of accuracy. You can get one with just the hour and minute hand, and it would still be okay if you are not interested in taking note of the seconds.
Water resistance
We cannot stress how much this is important. In a field where you are continually scrubbing your hands, you will occasionally spill some water onto your watch. This makes water resistance high on your priority.
Changeable band
Accidents happen all the time. Having comfortable bands that you can easily switch is a must. You don’t want to keep throwing away your watches because the bands keep coming off. Replacing the group is also a matter of cleanliness for the nurses. You don’t want a band that’ll carry bacteria and germs.
Size
Considering how much you will be walking through your shift and the amount of stuff you will carry, a beautiful light watch is incredible. You wouldn’t want a watch to be one of the reasons your arms are sore.
Material
The materials used to make your watch are as important as the watch itself. Stainless steel is great when you are always dealing with water, medication, and germs plus bacteria that are common in hospitals. The same can be said about silicon and plastic/nylon. It is easy to clean and quite comfortable.
Silicon & Rubber Watches
Rubber and silicone are excellent for medical watches. They are easily cleaned and don’t react nor wear out with regular washing and spilling of chemicals. This makes them great for nurses and doctors. They are also quite stylish and versatile, whether you are at home or heading to work. Nordgreen has taken the time to design remarkable watches for nurses with high-quality materials.
We have two main watch designs at Nordgreen. Both are suitable for use a nurse watch or as a medical watch.
Philosopher
The Philosopher watch comes with a dual-piece dial that drives the attention to the face of the watch. One of the highlights of the watch is the brushed feel and the elevated case of the watch. It adds a certain degree of elegance to a simple design. With the third hand, you increase the accuracy of your reports or timing to the seconds level.
The Philosopher comes with varying dial sizes at 40mm, 36mm, or 32mm. The dial color for the Philosopher is always white. It also comes in several colors for the case that include Gunmetal, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold. The nylon straps that go with it are super hardy and will last a long time before you change. The Philosopher is available for both male and female nurses.
Pioneer
Nothing oozes masculinity than the Pioneer watch. It is built with stainless steel plus a domed sapphire glass so you can have an easy time reading your watch. The Pioneer watch has three hands for the hour, minute, seconds because we know nurses at time conscious. In addition, it also comes decked with a stopwatch to give you the perfect timing.
The pioneer features a unique and masculine dial at sized 42mm, so your watch looks and feels sturdy. You can also choose between a Black, Navy, or White dial because we all love choices. The same case applies to the casing. It comes in Gunmetal, Rose Gold, or Silver. You can buy the watch with a nylon or rubber strap for added toughness.
