Tick, tick, tick. As a nurse, doctor or other medical professional, you know that time is always of the essence. Your speed and ability to handle a situation with calmness, kindness and accuracy can literally mean life or death. Hospitals depend on timely reactions to medical emergencies and to urgent patient needs. In this post, we’ll focus on wristwatches and how nurses often use them while on the job. We’ll also discuss temporary housing for travel nurses and how the right rental can offer a calming environment after a tiring, adrenaline-packed day.
Nurses, do you need a watch while on the job?

Smartphones have replaced wristwatches in many American households. After all, we spend so much of our time staring at our phones anyway! But nurses use watches in the workplace to accomplish a wide variety of essential day-to-day tasks. A watch gives medical professionals a quick way to check a patient’s pulse. In addition, it can be used to remember when to give medications to patients throughout a shift and to help in recording patient data.1 All in all, it’s an important tool! Below are some links with ideas and recommendations from others as to what watches a nurse might like to use.
