I totally agree!! That was exactly my point when I read a "sweeping second hand" is required. It's very silly. I'm also not a watch person-- never owned one in my life (although I wouldn't mind wearing one). I guess it's just to rule out common errors!

Sweeping second hand means the watch has little to no ticking. And as for the military time, that's a good point!! I just thought it would be faster and easier if I have it right on the watch.

It's a requirement for some reason. I've read because when you are counting a patient's pulse, some nurses mistakenly count the ticks instead of the beats.

Hi all, I'm having a hard time finding a watch. I have read old threads on this topic as well, but still couldn't find what I'm looking for. For clinicals I am required to have a watch with a sweeping second hand (little to no ticking?). This is really the main reason I'm having a bit of trouble. I have looked online everywhere and it seems these types of watches are extremely expensive. I also want a watch that's analog, water resistant, glows in the dark, and has military time. The band I can buy separate because I prefer no rubber, leather, or latex (for allergy purposes & leather can stain skin). Any recommendations??? I don't know if I'm being too picky, but anything with a sweeping second hand would be perfect!!! Thank you in advance

Sorry, I added this topic in the wrong forum so I'm reposting! Hi! I'm currently starting my nursing classes as a junior in Fall 2017. This is my dilemma. I applied to the program in fall 2015 but wasn't accepted because of my GPA. I applied again this year after I brought my GPA up and was accepted. However, because I completed all the prereqs and general education classes, my advisor told me once I start my nursing classes this Fall, I would be considered a part time student and recommended that I minor in something to be a full time student. Should I consider a minor or should I stay part time and find a job part time? If I decide to declare a minor, what would you all recommend? I really just don't know what to do or what's really best. thank you all!!
