Finding the best clipboards for nurses can be a bit of a challenge. Keeping vital information safe and in one easy to get to spot makes clipboards an important tool for nurses. Even with electronic medical records in place, there are still many times when nurses need to jot down notes, store small items, and have a stable writing surface while standing or walking.

5 Reasons Why Every Nurse Should Wear Compression Socks

5 Reasons Why Every Nurse Should Wear Compression Socks

By / / 5 minutes of reading

Just because nurses wear scrubs at work, doesn’t mean you should feel the need to cover up those beauties when you’re off the clock.

Luckily, compression stockings help relieve symptoms and slow the progress of varicose veins.

By / / 3 minutes of reading

The perfect nurse Valentine gift idea is not as elusive as it may seem. Most nurses appreciate any thoughtful gift, but there are a few gift ideas that are truly awesome. Of course you could go for the traditional flowers and chocolates, but nurses work hard and deserve something more substantial.

By / / 4 minutes of reading

Wouldn’t it be nice to have lightweight and flexible nursing shoes? Have you ever wondered if minimalist shoes are for nurses? Can you work a 12 hours shift in a flat shoe and still feel comfortable? Will they protect your feet? I was asked to review the Lems Lightweight Barefoot Sneaker and perhaps considering it as an alternative to traditional nursing shoes. (Full disclosure I received the shoes to facilitate the review. No monetary compensation was received) Most nursing shoes are heavy, made of thick non-breathable material like leather, vinyl, or some man-made material. Those type of shoes have their place on the floor, but I think that looking other types of nursing shoes.
