Nurses watches are the ultimate accessory that every nurse seems to be seen carrying and checking every 2 minutes in surgeries, waiting rooms, Accident & Emmergency (A&E), or if you are being pedantic from a different part of the world – Emmergency Rooms (ER).Nurses watches are actually an essential tool for the nurses daily responsibilities.

Nurses watches are hung upside down, attached from the chest of a nurses uniform for instant accessibility and also for hygiene reasons.

Nurses watches assist in the routine organisation of the nurse’s schedule and is an indispensable item to keep handy when on any demanding shift or tight rota.Not only this, nurses watches are also a very practical life saving tool and can be used to time someone’s pulse, regulate fitness measuring and monitoring or more seriously time how long it has been absent and determine the exact time that the patient first flat lined.

When in an emergency situation nurses watches can be a small but life saving backup when medical machinery or monitors are not present in the near vicinity, either on site or in the hospital corridors through night shifts when staff response is slow due to staffing cuts. The nurse can then relay critial information to the medical experts regarding the patient’s vital signs, and upon conferring appropriate medical attention can be carried out.
